Siem Reap

We have arrived in Siem Reap! After 2 days in Phnom Penh, we took a bus for 6 hours yesterday and arrived here, where we will stay for the bulk of our trip. Today (Tuesday) has been spent meeting with various YWAM folks to figure out just how we will be best used here. We're staying in a YWAM-owned guest house, and our rooms have air conditioning units! It's miraculous. I slept with a light blanket last night, something I never did in Cambodia last year.

A few moments that were cool to me that probably mean little to anyone but people from Team Cambodia last year: Corinne and I spotted Srika, a girl who was at White Doves for our first week in Siem Reap last year, in church in Phnom Penh. We didn't talk to her, but it was so great to see her and know that she is doing well. Today we met up with Deb and her husband to talk about English classes...Cambo09 people know why meeting Deb's husband was funny for me ;). Last night we ate a delicious meal at the Khmer Kitchen, but a YWAM cook makes lunch and dinner at our house, which is nice. Today's lunch was some sort of interesting fish concoction. We have been meeting with Fhonkie, but I'm hoping we get to see Martin and Dary soon. Apparently they are going to P. Penh later this week, so it may have to wait til next week. An American staff member from White Doves told us that the dog at the center that they got last year during our trip, Bonzo, is doing quite well.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers, as a few of us have been feeling a bit nauseous and weak. Overall we're doing well though, and hoping that tomorrow we'll finally get to dive full force into ministry!
