This last story is Eddie's; he took the time and wrote it out himself for me.

"I don't have any brother or sister and mom or dad. I am 14 years old and I study in grade 7 now. I grew up in a buddhist home, and when I was 6 years old I was a smart boy and I was a very good at playing video games.. When I was playing games I forgot to go to school and read book. When I was 8 I played games and didn't sleep in the house for 1 week. When i was 9 I hit another boy; I was in a boss gang. When I was 10 my grandmother brought me here (Phomdouch village, Kampot) to her sister. when I came here to my grandmother's sister she was kind and loving,but I didn't like living with her. and water was unclean and there was no food for me to eat. After I'd stayed here long enough to know about the living conditions, then I was able to come here (to the Light of Hope School) to study english. When I went to the school I didn't understand why the school didn't take any money from the student. When I asked my cousin why the school didn't take the money from the student, then my cousin said because of Jesus. I didn't know who is Jesus? I asked my friend becasue she believes in Jesus,who is Jesus? She said He is a one true god that created the world and created everything around me. After she said that I still didn't know much about Jesus. I noticed that on Sunday's everyone at the school went to church. When i heard that I wanted to go too, then my cousin invited me , she said " then you know about Jesus"
Then I went there and I didn't know what are they doing they danced they sang they jumped around like crazy. I wanted to go out but God gave me knowledge and touched my heart they were worshipping Jesus then I started to know about Jesus a little bit……
After attending church I still struggled and in my heart I wanted to go to Phnom Penh, then I called my grand mom to take me back to the Phnom Penh. I told Grand mom i want to study in Phnom Penh and she came and took me back. When I was in Phnom Penh I felt far away from God; within 7 months I was a gang boy again and getting into trouble. My grand mom brought me here to the village again even though I didn't want to,.but her sister don't want to got me again because I was to much trouble.
My grand mom didn't have anywhere else to take me or anyone else to help look after me so she brought me to Vuthy; he is my uncle. When he got me my life was crazy, like a football with no place go; I was just bouncing from place to place. Then God changed my life and is the savior my life now I'm trusting God, I'm not trusting myself.
Now I'm here in kampot province in light of hope church.
in my future i want to be a doctor, a lawyer, and a singer.
I trust God, God will choose that special job for me.
