45/320...Matrimony
I piled in the van with many people from the church to join my friend, Phally, at his house for his sister’s wedding reception. Things are done so differently for weddings here, especially the clothes.
48/317...Fragrance of Worship
Taken during a worship time with the Harvesters. My prayer is that we would all keep our hearts focused on God and where He is leading us.
52/311...Dinner by Candlelight
I came home from work to met with darkness in the house. This is not an abnormal occurrence here in Cambodia, but this was the first time since I got back. I was not terribly excited that my milk might spoil in the fridge, but there was something familiar about this. As we sat down to eat, though, the power came back on!
57/308...a little too real
I like shrimp. But I have to admit that I prefer when it comes pre-peeled and de-headed.
63/302...Two favorites
Mango and my friend and co-leader, Seyha.
70/295...Cyclo
I love the idea of a cyclo, but I am pretty sure that if I ever got in one, especially this one, I would give the poor 80 year old man a heart attack as he tried to pedal. So this is about as close as I think I will ever come to having a cyclo experience.
78/287...Heaven by the cup full
I was introduced to a wonderful little place called “brown” by my friends, Eileen and Maija…and oh. my. gosh. I am in love. First off I felt like I was back in the states in this lovely coffee house. Second, I nearly jumped right there in the lobby because they had chai frappachinos. I ordered with great anticipation and to be honest, I was prepared to be a little disappointed with the quality but still pleased that it was a chai frappachino nonetheless. I had to concentrate to up myself upright when I took the first sip. HEAVENLY!! I drank it very slow so that I could make it last as long as possible. I even considered licking the cup when I finished, but have no fear, my social graces won out! I just need to work out a way to get back there very soon!
79/286...Mo-haa Kru-ah Sah
This was the giant family event for the New Life Fellowship churches throughout Cambodia. On Sunday they had all the churches present up on the stage and I have to say, it was hard to fight back tears to see the excitement that all of these people have for Jesus. Unfortunately all I had was my phone with me thus the quality (or lack thereof), but it is still project worthy.
83/282...Rambutan
This is one of my favorite fruits. I love the unique look on the outside with the spiky things all over it and then the "meat" in the middle. There is a huge seed so there is not too much "actual fruit," but what is there is so good! And it makes it all the more exciting because you can’t get this in the states so it is my asia treat!
87/278...Remembrance
This is the memorial holding all the skulls found in the Killing Fields at Chhoeng Ek. There are nearly 10,000 skulls there and that is estimated to be less than half of what is actually buried in the immediate area. My heart aches for this country to know what they walked through only 30 years ago. I am so grateful for the way God is pouring His grace, healing and hope into this land!
