I don’t even know where to begin. Month 4, brought new life to me. God just spoiled me last month. To start, our contact was a Filipino woman named Maricel, who just happened to be from Antipolo, which neighbors where I lived in the Philippines. She made wonderful Filipino food for us, and then when she went home on Dec. 11th, she took letters to a lot of my girls there for me for Christmas. It was just one of the little ways I felt so blessed by God this month.
When Maricel left, there wasn’t going to be anyone left to cook meals for us…if you know me well, you know I gladly offered to do that in her absence. J It was wonderful. I got to spoil my team mates by making some of their favorite foods from home and also teaching them how to cook some things too. It was for sure one of the best ministry opportunities I could have had. God definitely knows the way to my heart
On top of this I was able to teach English in one of the villages to a bunch of beautiful children who stole a part of my heart. One the first day I was there, they asked me how to write I love you and from then on I never left without at least one I love you note. They were the hardest for me to leave and say goodbye to. For them, one month just didn’t feel like enough. There was still so much I wanted to do with them, so many more hugs I wanted to give, and just want them to know without a doubt how much Jesus loves them.
Oh Cambodia, you took a little piece of my heart and I will never be the same because of it.
