We met with the new mission president and his wife, had personal interviews with each of them, and I really like them.
Three weeks into being the only sister missionaries in the ward, some sisters were transferred in so we're back to having 7 sisters in the zone! That's nice for weekly P-day activities, which we can only have with sisters except for twice a transfer.
For the 4th the Blatters had the nearby missionaries come to a BBQ at the mission home, so we went there for dinner before going home by 8pm. We heard a lot of fireworks beyond the trees and houses, and saw a few scattered behind leaves. Other than that is was a pretty laid-back Fourth.
The first few days of the week were very slow due to potentials and news dropping appointments. One of the worst things to hear from a great investigator is that they will call you when they have time. So we'll be making a lot of calls and drop-by visits to see if we can catch them and continue teaching them, otherwise most of them are still open to us coming - they just don't want to set an exact appointment.
Sunday we had two eligible priesthood men at our Sunday school!!! It was only two, and one can only speak a little bit of Cambodian (some other missionaries' recent Cambodian convert), but it was good to see more people together. We had a total of seven of us there (three of us missionaries), and even though the recent convert will probably not come for a little bit, it was encouraging to get a better picture of what it could be like soon!
Other than that, we finally got things moved around the apartment so we're settled into the trio arrangement now and are excited to have an official study room. We took Sis. Loy shopping at her three favorite Asian stores so we got a good look at the dried shrimp, fresh squid, chicken feet and pig legs. Went through withdrawals when we ran out of rice two days ago, so we were happy to get some more. Yep, we're going Asian.
Love,
Sister Dunster
