Went to the school to paint today. We put 4 square on the concrete play area and will return to teach the kids how to play. Also ended up burning trash in the back. Cambodia has lots of trash laying everywhere, and the trash services just burn it anyway, so I got the chance to smell like burning trash and sweat for the rest of the day. Had to keep reminding myself I was doing it for Jesus.

 

On a positive note, Cambodians believe that if someone is white, they were a really good person in the previous life. They also believe that those who take care of trash aren’t even human, but subhuman. So cleaning up trash as a white person justs twists their minds and make them reconsider what they believe. Opens up opportunity to show who God is.
