Week one...

It's raining. But somehow it's still sunny and hot. And I mean raining. Like, a down pour. It's going to be a fun walk back to my home!

I made it to Cambodia! Not only to Camboida but to my home at Samaritan Love Mission in Sihanoukville!

It has been nothing but craziness since I arrived! There was a big convention at SLM my first day here, the next day was spent in the sky blue waters of the Indian ocean. Sunday I taught sunday school and spent some more time in the ocean. Monday I went to the hospital to hand out food, water and to pray with the patients. Then I began teacing in my evening classes. Tuesday was my first normal day, teaching in the morning and evening. I get my afternoons off to myself. =)

The morning school is made up of underprivilaged children from a group home and a village. I think some are just locals around the city. I teach nursery and grade one. I teach art and english. It is very hard to be left alone in a room with 23 or so nursery students who don't speak a word of english. They are learning their ABC's. Afernoons I usually read alot, maybe take a nap, a walk, prepare for my lessons. Very relaxing things. This week only, I am covering for an english teacher from 5:30-6:30. Then I teach my own classes from 6:30-8:30. I teach advanced english. It is so much fun!! You have no idea how delightful my students are.

I am really enjoying myself here. I'm not saying it's easy. Far from it. But God is good and He is providing for me. The people I live with couldn't be better. I live with two Cambodians and two Indians. Along with learning about Cambodian culture, I am learning alot about India as well. Tongpong, Raja and Watanak are becoming like brothers to me. Our director and Pastor, Jonah, is home in India for 3-4 weeks right now.

I would like to tell you story's and jokes and everything that has been happening, but I have been sitting in this internet cafe for about two hours now. In about a month I will have internet at SLM, so I will write many more things then. Until then, I will only have short snipits for you.

I miss many of you very much already.

Hey, it stopped raining. =)

on the road

Ok, so I've left Canada!! Woot!! I'm in Korea right now for a lay over. It kind of reminds me of the Hong Kong airport.

So far things have been uneventful. I know, boring blog right? I promise it will get better once I make it to my final destination!!

I cried all the way to Vancouver where my good friend Chantalle came to see me! It was great!! And before going to the airport a bunch of us went for breakfast. It was really good except that I was so nervous and anxious that I couldn't eat a thing! I swear I was close to throwing up at just the smell of everyone else's food.. ick...

Not too much to say for now. A cute security officer here in Korea searched my bag looking for pattery (batteries!) and found my tampons. He had no idea what they were, after I had to explain he still didn't understand so he asked the other security officres there!! Oh my word, I was more than I little bit red in th face... Ugh..

Well, I'm off to my gate now! I have 2 minutes left on the net.. better get going!!

Thank you all for all your support!! It has not gone unnoticed!
