A Very Productive Monday

With just a few short days before project deadlines, there is much to do this week. Today was very productive in working through some of those projects. We had a productive staff meeting, got a good start on our Institute lesson for Saturday, moved up a level on our PowerPoint preparations for the Manager Conference in Chiang Mai Thailand, completed some critical correspondence, and all-in-all had a great day.

This afternoon we had finished what we were working on and didn't want to start any new projects, so we left the office a little early in order to watch a video we were assigned to view before the Chiang Mai conference. We were glad we did that when the skies opened up for a good downpour.  We commented this morning that we have been walking every morning since we moved and have not been kept from our exercise because of rain. The forecast for tomorrow says there is a 70% chance of rain at 7:00 a.m., so we will have to wait and see if our luck holds.

Our photo is of our Cambodia Self-Reliance Services team which consists of Phanna, Sameth, Sister and Elder Oveson. Today was P-day for the young missionaries, which allows us the opportunity of greeting some of them as they visit the Service Center. These elders [top right] are the Vietnamese elders we have to thank for Rib Thursday. [Bottom Left] The other young man in our photo is a returned missionary who works at the Service Center. We recruited him to take our team photo, so we needed a picture of our Paparazzi! The other two photos were taken less than five minutes apart. It was crazy how fast the rain moved in. Looking out the window it almost looked like a winter storm and fog. Even the storms have their own beauty. We enjoyed the fresh clean air as the rains subsided. Happy we were home to be able to enjoy the storm.
