Second Family Home Evening This Week

We have told the young missionaries that if they would like us to go with them on appointments or visits to just let us know. We always enjoy being with them and watching as the gospel moves forward here in Cambodia. Sister Schwab and Sister Ormax (she is Cambodian and her name is pronounce Ow-mah) invited us for the second evening in a row to go with them for a Family Home Evening at a recent converts home. They assigned us again to come up with the activity, and today's topic was gratitude. We are so grateful for the internet and the ideas that we are able to pull off of it. This is an older Sister that was baptized about six months ago and who is raising her two year old grandson. Here neighbor that was baptized a couple of weeks ago also came. this was their very first Family Home Evening ever.

This morning we got to the office before 8:00 in great hopes that they may have fixed the air conditioner over the weekend, but they had not. They did show up and work on it this morning and spent about two hours before they packed up and left with the air still not working. Apparently it is a brand that is hard to get parts for and it is not even a year old (we moved into the office December 1st last year). We did work at the office until lunch, but then we came home to eat lunch and stayed to work where it was nice and cool. With the miracle of the internet we are able to do everything that we needed to from the comforts of our apartment. We received word late this afternoon that the air conditioner is working again, so we will be back to our office tomorrow.

We also worked on our assigned gathering with the missionaries for Thanksgiving. We ordered the pumpkin pies and talked with the helper at the Mission Home about having her buy some good fresh fruit to go with the pies. She is not only going to buy the fruit, but she will have it already for us to just pick up and serve on Thursday.
