Apartment Inspection and Trying To Catch Up

We have become so accustomed to getting up early and taking our walk that even when we have a holiday our internal clocks do not let us really sleep in. The alarm clock was set for later, but at 5:30 we were both awake so we got up and going on the day. We were a little longer getting out the door so as we left at 6:10 we commented that some days we are done with our walk by then.

There was one more missionary apartment to inspect today out in Steung Mean Chey. We could tell that the Elders had spent time preparing for the inspection, even though Elder Walker is transferring to a new area tomorrow. They definitely earned their donuts today.

We went to the office to try and take care of some work, we are feeling the pressure of not having much time left. It was very quiet with nobody else there, but the air conditioner in our area was not working so it was really hot. We decided to just head home and work there where it was nice and cool.

In the collage for today, both of the family moto pictures were from our drives out to Steung Mean Chey. It takes about a half hour to go from our apartment to out there, but we get some of our best and most interesting pictures on that drive. You could tell on the top one that the mother had taught her children to hold on to her jacket tight, because they had a tight grip which is unusual. The other little family is so typical, including no helmets. Also, in the collage is a picture of the ceremonial table set for the holiday in the lobby area of our apartment not to be eaten but for their ancestors and the super moon over Phnom Penh.
