Monday in Cambodia Continued...

More Monday fun in Cambodia (sorry for the delay in post)... our days were filled with so many blessings, so many smiling faces, and so many stories that it is so hard to show you one whole day in just one post... so here is more Monday.  We made it to the school and we were ready to start the day of VBS with the kids... here is a picture of the school (blue building and the small pink building on the right is the toilet) and the logs in front were there to help build houses in the village (which you will see later).

The kids were so happy to be there having fun... the next couple of pics were taken during game time.  They had to take a small pebble and skip it onto a newspaper and each time they landed on the newspaper the paper would be folded in half.



Then red light green light... who does not like to run and have fun.


After games... the rain came... and man did it come... we were stuck but you better believe we still had fun.

I just love how handy these people were... true people of the land... the office has been known to flood during these rains and this is where our stuff was stored and two of the teachers live in here on the floor at night so they wanted to keep it dry... so they grabbed dirt and made a barrier... love it...




Here is the man of the hour (of the year)... Pastor Abraham... he is the person that god used to start it all... he has a fantastic story of his journey following Christ and really loves his home country. To honor him and protect his name I will not be able to write the details here but this is definitely a man we need to be thankful for and praying for... this is his daughter on his lap.

After a wonderful day of VBS... we ladies had to go eat and shop of course... here is a great place to buy silk which many of us did... so fun...


This family was right out side the store sleeping... I was really touched by this picture that I started asking locals around what this was all about... they said that this mom and son always sleep here on the street (they are homeless) but the mom gets drunk during they day and passes out as soon as it gets dark... however no matter how "gone" she is she always locks her sons feet in her thighs so she would wake up if he was to get up.  Her pillow was a trash bag and seemed to have a blankie... the noise on this street was so loud and we literally were in a shop just 3 feet away.  I stopped to pray for this family and spent a lot of time praying for others just like this... I usually would not have taken a picture but wanted to so I could remember this moment and just how thankful I am for my families current situation and to never stop praying for others in situations like this.  I prayed for this boy especially that he would grow up and choose a different path for his life and that he would be a hard smart worker and one that came to know his creator and that he may one day use his experience as a boy to help and love on others.

I can't wait to show you more.
