Hi Everyone! It has been a month since I blogged last – due to location, we were not able to access internet and blog. My brain only begins to spin in attempting to summarize all the mighty works God has done in this past month. Here are some pictures that capture bits and pieces of the beautiful time we spent in a Cambodian village.
This is the beautiful countryside of a small village in Cambodia. This was by far my favorite month of the race. We spent the month teaching English and preaching the gospel. We lived in a church on stilts in a field of banana trees in our host’s backyard. We learned so much about generosity and having a servant’s heart from the families and friends we encountered. I will carry this place in my heart forever.
This is one of the four classes that I taught. Our classes met 5 days a week. We taught them English and shared the good news of Jesus Christ, and other stories from the Bible.
This is the classroom I spent all my time teaching in. Yes, that is a python in the cage under the whiteboard. Special guests also include; chickens, roosters, dogs, and bugs.
This is the only restaurant/cafe in the village. It was one mile from our host’s home. We walked here nearly every day for coffee and we would visit friends we had met at the market.
These are some of the amazing women that we came to love from the church. We would take turns preaching every Sunday at the adult and children services. After church we would spend time eating and laughing with them!
The two women in this picture, Changhon, and Phalla, the woman in the background, melted my heart. I cried my eyes out when we said our goodbyes.
This is Lenin. This woman, only 24 years old, taught me true servanthood. I will forever be changed by her life, her desire to serve and put herself last.
Right now the whole squad is in Hua Hin, Thailand for our 2nd debrief. We are spending five days here and then moving to our next location. I will update you on our next country, our “Ask The Lord” month, as soon as I can.
