One Last Update

One last hello from Cambodia! It has been a wonderful trip!

While we are here, it is pretty busy. I feel like I barely have time to think and process. Today I actually had some time alone. I was outside walking around, it was actually cool and the wind was blowing--- it was beautiful outside. I was just thinking how privileged we are that at this point in our lives, we get to come here and be the ones to serve. I know that sounds strange coming from me.... most of you know that these trips are hard for me--- they scare me, I am worried the whole time I am here, and it is out of my comfort zone. This year was different though. I really prayed for months before that I would not be afraid, that I would feel a sense of calmness and not fear. Amazingly enough, I did. I had very few moments where I felt nervous or afraid. The funny thing is, this trip is not about me. I often make it about me with all my crazy fear, but it isn't. It is about loving a wonderful God and loving others. It is about letting God be in control of my life. It is so hard to do, and I am usually pretty bad at it! Anyway, I honestly felt privileged to be here and I wanted to share that with you. We really want to thank you for your prayers and your support. It has meant more that you know!

This girl sews pillows for a place called, "Tiny Kompot Pillows" She is so sweet!

Fun at the orphanage. Lani brought big jump ropes for the kids!

This was the neatest park I have ever been to! This is just 1/10 of the park. It was amazing! You can see the Palace behind the slide.

Dinner with Tan, our tuk tuk driver and his family. His daughter ate the entire 3 scoops for dessert!

I actually teared up when saying good-bye to our dear friends. Tan was such a wonderful part of our time here. We will really miss him!
