Another busy day

You have to take your shoes off to enter the church

Nick & Mowgli (she doesn't speak English, so not sure of her name)

Me teaching this morning...men and women...Amazing :)

Today was another busy day in Cambodia. We were up and in the car by 6:30 headed to the KomPong Thom province to preach and teach. Nicholas and I did a little bit of that today.

We both stressed that we are only here for a few days and we don't speak the language and have very little influence here in this country. So, it is the obligation of those people we are teaching to share their new found faith with others. They are very excited to be taught and they hang on every word imaginable. There is a pastor here who is very excited we are here and she is bringing some of her chruch members to the service on Friday so they can be baptized. She beleives what she is being taught is important and she needs to teach it to her church.


There is a beautiful little girl at the church. She kind of reminds me of Mowgli from the Jungle Book because she walks around barefoot with her hair all tousled. She normally won't talk to us, but we gave her some candy today, so she smiled at us all day long.

Our driver pcicked us up around 3:00 this afternoon and drove us past this old bridge. It was beautiful. Cars are no longer able to drive on it because it's protected. While standing there, I felt like I was in the early 1900's...aside from the motorbikes everywhere. A man went past in a horse drawn cart carrying hay. The whole ride home, we passed bikes with giant pigs tied to the bacg. Our driver said "Pig today...pork at my house tomorrow". His English is very good so he tells us a little bit about everything. Almost to the hotel, they stopped traffic with AK47's because their equivelant of the "Secretary of Homeland Security" was coming through. The police just held their rifles out and ushered you to the side. It was crazy!

We had KFC for dinner again tonight. One thing is for sure...at KFC, you know you're getting enough food! Then, we headed to the Angkor Nightmarket to buy some souveneirs. You have to dodge some booths though because they will follow you all around.

Tomorrow we have church again, so hopefully I will have more pictures. Have a great day...I miss everyone and am almost ready to come home. Now, I'm going to work on some homework...Cambodia or no Cambodia, the Master's program goes on :)
