To say this month got off to a slow start
would be an understatement. Due to the Cambodian New Year, organizations were
not ready for us during our first week in the country. Our squad took advantage
of this time and spent it together in Seim Reap resting in preparation of the
final stretch of the Race. We had an amazing opportunity to go and visit Angkor
Wat while we where there.

The 1st day we went we were one of the last groups to leave and the guard asked us if we wanted to go to the top… we said yes and paid a small amount to go to the “No Access” point of the temple. It was amazing!
We left Seim Reap to travel to Phnom Penh as a squad before our teams split up
to go to our ministry sites. Our team was blessed to be able to stay in Phnom
Penh. Unfortunately our ministry fell through at the last minute. Because of
the Cambodian’s extensive celebration of the holiday, we had an additional
three days without ministry. But Kyle worked hard with our contact Chris to
find us a new ministry. On Friday we began serving at Cambodian Hope
Association.

This is an orphanage that is home to 31
children. Our team is going to be teaching computer skills (which I will be
doing) and English to the children. On Wednesday we will be moving to a
guesthouse closer to the orphanage.
