Rib Thursday and a bit of Cambodia

Things were a little slower this morning which allowed us to sleep in until 5:30. That put us enough later that as we crossed to the park on our walk we happened to meet Elder and Sister Leavitt, who promptly told us we were late this morning. Lately we have been just finishing our walk as they have been getting to the park.

We were blessed to be invited by the Vietnamese elders for one more Rib Thursday. Several months ago one elder decided that since their schedule kept them home for extra study time, they have time to make ribs for lunch. This is our second invitation, but likely the last for us as he and his companion will both complete their mission in three weeks. This has been a good way to get to know some amazing young elders.

We have continued working on PowerPoint projects for upcoming events. It has been interesting seeing how our focus has shifted and the slides start coming together. Then the order of the slides has changed and seems to fit together more effectively. They are coming along very well.

Our photos today include a variety of things from the past few days. Somehow we got pictures of lunch, but not of the missionaries who shared. The coconut cart is a common vendor in the city. This is our happy little car. We couldn't help noticing the cute smile because it has a garage to park in at night. The sign would indicate there might really be safety gear, even if they choose not to use it. The bag on the moto, if you look close, has chicken feet sticking up. And finally in the center is a worker on a bamboo scaffold about 8 stories off the ground. Most workers we see do not wear hard hats and wear flip-flops. We understand when they started enforcing the steel toed shoe requirement they started having more injuries and accidents.
