OFF No plans the entire day! It is glorious!
The past 2 weeks have been great at both orphanages. I have fallen in love with kids from each orphanage and will find it hard to leave on Friday. Next Monday we are going to Siem Reap for a mini debrief and to visit Angkor Wat! It should be fun. I plan on riding an elephant while there (Mom if I can find one painting a picture I will buy it for you) and going to a Butterfly cafe! Then we will be heading to Thailand. I have no idea where I will be or what I will be doing but as soon as I do I will let you all know.
Prayer Request:
Safe travel
Continued team bonding
Our team will be split up for the month of April at different ministry sites
May will be an Ask The Lord month, we have a country in mind but are not sure about it yet
Ashley (one of the squad leaders will be leaving in a few weeks and Jenny our other squad leader will be leaving on June 1 when we go to Africa) so be in prayer for good transitions.
Love you all. Will post more later.
