City Company

Rachael moved and has been gone for almost a week - an adjustment for me not having this friend close by. Today I connected with one of the young ladies from the church-we spent the day together. She is Khmer but speaks good english but we spoke most of the time in Khmer. We walked around the market and then went for a drive and had lunch together. We talked about lots of life things - I hope to continue to develop this relationship on a regular basis(mentoring her). Although she is busy. I prayed for the first time with someone besides my tutor even though it was only a short prayer over our lunch. It was an encouraging day for me.

Singles Retreat

There are 7 single ladies ministering in Cambodia through the C&MA so we got together for a 4 day retreat. We got away from where we live and minister to a nice quiet location in Cambodia. The quiet was refreshing for those of us who live in Phnom Penh especially - we were able to really think and listen with out a lot of distracting noise. We had beautiful surroundings - flowers and manicured gardens. We went on a hike one day through the forest (there was a path) it had the camp feel. The hike led to a nice waterfall. Us ladies spent time sharing what God has been doing in our lives this past year and how to pray for one another. We spent a lot of time in pray for each other which was a blessing and encouragement. We also played games together. It was defenitely a retreat and we enjoyed one anothers company. Go to my picture page to see some of the pictures of this retreat.

Mid-term exam

Tomorrow morning I have a mid-term test in my university class. This is a written test and the teacher says it should take us 1 1/2 hours to complete. He did not give us much details regarding what type of things are on the test so I have been reviewing all of the things we have studied thus far. Please pray for me as I take this test I am sure that this test will be somewhat exhausting.

Traveling

today my roomate Rachael left to move to a village. Today I drove the car around town. I had some business to take care of about 3 miles or so from my house and need to make a few stops so I took the car. While I was out it downpoured making it hard to see and traffic was at a standstill. It ended up taking me over two hours to get back to my house so it was like going 1 mile every 40 minutes. I learned my lesson not to stay out in the car after 4pm unless coming back around 8pm. I know now that I can pretty much manage any thing in traffic. Pray for me as I drive around town.
