Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

We had a nice and relaxing time in KL, Malaysia. Cindy found a new doctor for the skin cancer checkups so we'll be going to KL from now on to visit the doctor. As you might remember, we were going to Bangkok, but Malaysia seems to be better in dealing with skin cancer detection and treatment. Cindy has another appointment in August. We have to do this every three months in order to catch any new melanoma before they spread. She has a tumor in her eye, but it is still flat and not growing or changing shape. Please keep praying for Cindy's health as well as our whole family.

Hello, remember me?

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the long delay in posting. I have a ton of excuses: busy, internet server down, busy, out of town, busy, sick, busy, well you get the picture. We just returned from Malaysia two days ago for a much needed rest. Cambodia is one of the poorest and dirtiest countries in Asia, if not the world. I would venture to say that it rivals parts of Africa. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is a big metropolitan and cosmopolitan city filled with native Malays, Chinese, and Indian people. The predominate religion is Islam. We did not sense any ill feelings or rudeness towards us as Americans. The people were very welcoming and kind. It was a nice break for our family. Upon our return to Cambodia, we were happy to see everyone again. The orphans stayed at the church with our church leaders, Seyhar and Sokhanni. It was the Cambodian New Year during our little trip to KL and so the orphans went to the countryside village for the celebration. They had a great time! They all went to Srok Phea Rang where we'll be started a new mission work. It's about 2 and a half hours driving time, plus a wait time at the Mekong River for the ferry. Here's a few photos from Srok Phea Rang.
