Missionary Apartment Inspections - Part 1

Big holidays such as Pchum Ben definitely need that extra day just to get everyone back into the city and get ready to get back to work. The numbers of people in the park was almost back to normal for our walk this morning. The roads were no longer empty, and most shops were open for business.

The Service Center was closed for one more day of holiday, which freed us up for apartment inspections.  We made a stop at Krispy Kreme for donuts, then headed to Steung Mean Chey for morning appointments. Elders Walker and Sears were a few minutes late because they had gone for quick haircuts, which took a little longer than they anticipated. We also visited Elders Medley and Burnett. Both houses were well cleaned, with only minor items for them to touch up. They appreciated their rewards.

We had appointments to visit two more apartments this afternoon, but when we called to make sure the elders would be there they said the afternoon rains we had today had given them about an inch deep pool in their entry, and they sure had fun riding their bikes in the flooded streets. We have experienced flooded roads between here and Steung Mean Chey enough in the past that we offered to reschedule for tomorrow and save ourselves a drive we would likely regret.

That left us with a quiet afternoon at our apartment. This evening, the rains had stopped so we ventured out for Family Home Evening treats at the new ColdStone Creamery.
