Cambodia...











Well yesterday we arrived in Cambodia on our little two propeller airplane with about 50 other people. I tried to post last night, but we're really in hte boonies here in Cambodia :)


We were only flying around 15,000 feet, so I could see the ground the whole time and got some great pictures of the land and the clouds. The airport here in Siam Reap is a little tiny place, probably smaller than Target. I checked in the quickest so I piled up everyone's luggage. Bro Frizzell took a picture of me because he said it's a shame they brought me along to handle their paperwork, passports and luggage. Once an assistant always an assistant I guess :)


After settling in to the hotel, we went to KFC for dinner and stopped at a convenience store for some water and lunch for the trip to the country today.


Today we left the hotel at 6:30am and met up with our driver for the 2-hour trip into the Khom Pong Thom province. Along the way, we passed cows in the middle of the road, a temple he called the "Angelina Jolie Temple"...he drove her and Maddox once when she was here...he was very excited about it. He was a talker, so we learned everything there was to know about "his" country.


We got to the church around 8:30 and sang some songs in Khmer, then Bro. Frizzell preached for awhile. Dad spoke for about an hour and we broke for lunch. They laid out mats on the floor so everyone could take naps after eating. The room was probably 100 degrees with a few ceiling fans to circulate the air. But, that didn't stop them. They worshipped and sang and just had a good time. After lunch, Dad preached again. We broke a little early today. Tomorrow Nick and I will speak to the young people.


We're headed to get some dinner now...we were going to the Angkor Wat, but I think that might wait for another day! I took some pictures and will post those a little later.
