Like the "Wild, Wild West"

Seems lately that we've seen the crime escalating around our house and neighborhood. Last Tuesday, a young Christian girl, early 20s was robbed of her motorbike and shot two streets over from us. What a shame! She was a really smart girl and translated for a lady from England who's teaching a girls Bible study.

Then last night, about 1 am, we were awakened by a gunshot just outside our house, then in succession, five more shots. It was right directly in front of our house. I jumped up and ran to our balcony that overlooks the street. People were milling about, but I couldn't tell what was happening. Then today I asked one of the neighbors, "Dtae mien ewey ca'ut la'ung yoop maing?" or "What was going on last night?" Found out that it was a shootout between police and some bad guys. That's all I know. Don't stop praying for your missionaries here in Cambodia.
