Wow!
Just when we got all the boxes from previous missionaries emptied into our office, desks arranged, machines hooked up files somewhat organized and some groceries in thought ....we really thought perhaps we were actually getting unburied and gaining ground...
Then called to a 3 hour meeting yesterday with President Christensen as we received additional duties in addition to what VanBrocklin's introduced. Feeling Pretty much overwhelmed - After our meeting with him we came home got a call from LDS Charities about 8:00 last night to let us know that we have a meeting set up next Tuesday with the Governor in Kampong Cham ( Province 3 hours out where we will be doing the open house for the new chapel).
"D" (Lance) has Googled "how" to address a dignitary- first time church has had an audience with him😩😩😩 it's great news but we're a bit nervous... Our FIRST time to meet with an official ...you know being "the face" of the church" (it's not a joke anymore) serious business. Important cause locals don't like having new chapel there. And the government also in charge of issuing "right to assemble" contracts. It will be an important meeting and relationship.. to foster with far reaching ramifications. We understand he has power to make a decision and shut it all down in that area... Please pray for us???
Have to keep remembering we are in a country with a Dictatorship. Then received email from our PA Director (boss) in Hong Kong said he'll arrive on Wednesday for a three day training and that we should download the church's Public Affairs manual, review it and be ready to discuss. That would be AFTER 6 hour road trip day before.
Oh, and received our Sunday "Branch" assignment that we will assume this week( about an hour out) and this....just ONE day's activity we are living it... Just got to get "on top" of it". Like je the littl engine ...."I think I can... I think I can"
Love to all.
