Above: Christians meeting in open air service in Srok Phea Rang
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.
