Well, it’s Saturday morning in Cambodia. We’re in our second week here and it’s been amazing! Most of you know that my family was here for a month last year… it’s so good to be back!
Sunday was an awesome day! Worshiping again with the people of Shalom Phnom Penh Thmei church, then joining them for their activities afterward…eating Pho together, playing soccer and volleyball, swimming in the pool. And it rained! When it rains here, it pours. It did not take long until we were completetly soaked…it was crazy and so much fun!
On Thursday and Friday, we visited the Hands of Hope Orphanage, and put on a kind of VBS program for them. It was so great! The kids there are so hungry for love and receive us so well. There aren’t seat-belt laws here so we packed a bunch of people in a van and traveled over there. When we would drive up, they would come out of the gate, hug us and say “hello sista!” … “hello brotha!” in their super cute, high pitched little voices. It was SO fun to sing and play with them and teach them about Jesus!!! I’m praying that God would use that time we spent with them to encourage those precious little kids and to remind them that they aren’t alone–that they are loved by the Creator of the universe!!!
Thank you so much for praying for us! Please keep on doing that! All of the people who were sick are getting better, and we’re all really excited for Bible Camp this next week.
Well, that’s all for now.

Thanks for the update, Rachel! It’s great to hear about the ministry opportunities that you all are having, and it’s good to hear that those who have been sick are recovering. We’ll keep praying!
