Month 10 in Cambodia is coming to an end. We have passed the day 300 mark. I know I didn't blog a lot this month- but I felt there wasn't that much to blog about. Having internet seldomly probably played a part in that as well. This month went by really fast- having only 16 days of ministry did not help that any. But nonetheless, I loved the ministry this month. Getting in the back of the oversized tuk tuk, not really sure where we are going. Between English classes, kids programs and Bibly studies/cell groups, we met a lot of people, we played a lot of games and sang silly songs and we repeated many simple phrases in English.
Here are some of my highlights of my month in Cambodia:
- sitting in a Bible Study in the middle of a rice paddy in Cambodia and a cell phone goes off and the owner of the house doesn't know what to do with it. She unplugs it from charging, not knowing that does nothing. The phone then goes off again.
- Going to a preschool and playing with the kids, before we leave we find out we will help out with bathtime. Next thing we know there are naked little kids running around everywhere.
- helping to teach little kids how to brush their teeth and then being able to wash their hair with lice shampoo.
- Eating delicious food every day- never had to worry about what we would eat or if it would be enough.
- Going to a waterpark in Phnom Penh with our contacts and some youth from the community. This water park literally had one pool and a few slides, but it was definitely a blast.
- Becoming really good at badmitten and then playing random games during youth group where I understood nothing of what is going on.
- listening to a Bible Study sing 'How Great Thou Art' in Khmer
- Meeting and experiencing the genocide that took place 37 years ago.
- Having the opportunity to get a weekend at the beach which included a boat tour and snorkeling. A great way to end a month in Cambodia and refresh us for one more month in Malaysia.

**Random Note: I still need a little bit of support to be fully funded. There were a couple issues with monthly donors- but don't worry we can recover. It is only a couple hundred I will be short. Pray and spread the word! **
Here is my concluding video of the month! Enjoy!
