Learning to cook rice...

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well on the other side of the world. We are doing well here. No one has been sick past a small headache or a little nausia. We have all grown very accustomed to rice and noodles. Still waiting to try tarantulas and crickets....
We are in Kratie now. This morning we hiked up a mountain to see the city. Monday evening we rode elephants up a mountainside in Siem Reap and it was absolutely beautiful at the top. Every evening after team devotions we talk about our "highs and lows" of the day, and everyone's high was the top of the mountain, the view there, and the group of chidren that a few of the girls met and talked with. Our van driver, Om, also went up with us - he doesn't join us for many things aside from meals, so we took advantage of the opportunity to take a picture with him, and I think it meant alot to him. We have seen him bow his head when we pray over meals, and it warms my little white heart. =)
We love Kratie. The students here are wonderful and we have enjoyed talking with them. The youth are very involved in the church. Last night we went to Tess' house (she is a World Hope missionary in Kratie, teaching English) and we had prayer meeting. We sang praises, then shared a testimony, and shared prayer requests then prayed the Korean way - everyone outloud and holding hands. It was really neat.
We are all still sharing 1 room. We pushed 3 full beds together and 7 of us are sleeping comfortably. We have gotten very close and it's been alot of fun experiencing Cambodia together.

Please continue praying for us and our ministry here. We want to grow closer to God and take others with us.
