we went out to lcdi as sarah vogal is leaving back to nz after a 4 month stint in cambodia and 13months overseas doing mission work (good work sarah, we'll miss you), and lcdi did a special talent night for her

when we got there there was a table with flowers all over it and chairs for us - it was so nice

we had dudes being throw in the air doing backflips and traditional dancing and a fasion show which was diabolical (if thats a work ill use it, but i dont know what it means but it sound the right word to put in)

then we did dancing to both western and khmer music, and they taught us to dance khmer style, and the cool thing is i called on of the students teacher for teaching me to dance and it was one of the most amazing reactions ive encounter, it was a bit like that they had no confidence or belief or something like that....ill try to explain as your goin '"what the??"

they respect you (as you spend a couple of months of your life to help them) and have huge praise of you and soak you up, and when you go to them "thank you teacher for teacher for teaching me" it is like them thinking "i can, i am able" it gives them a huge boost, as they are thinking all they can do is learn, it gives them a sence of pride in themselve (which is what you need) makes them feel like are someone and are able to change thing, as these people we are teaching ARE cambodias future.

so i hope that helps with you to understand, if not youll just have to come and experience it :)

jonno experienced depth while we were dancing, how you ask?? well jonno was dancing away and then fell into the open sewer (the one that josh washed his face in) and he almost drowned. we didnt let him in the tuk tuk on the way home and made him find his own way back.

monday (sorry for going back it time but thats what the photos do as well. thats how they order things and write stories up here in the northern hemasphere and even the sun goes down the other way when you look at it

so any way we hired motos and drove for half and hour out to the hammock place, me,sammy,jonno,k,sarah v and sarah w. it was so cool (ive had three on the motos as im taking them around - poor baby)

so we stayed out there and had coconuts and chicken and fis, it was good feed
that night gab egginton came and will be with us for a couple of months, and we showed her the sights of the city and how to ride over here

next week is a holiday (i love cambodia-heaps of holidays) so everyone is going somewhere around the place

loy is up at her parents place this week

jonno is staying at the boys dorm this week

jonno did the worship service on sunday (first one hes ever done) and did it on light and how jc is the light of the world and salvation is cos of him

baptised boys got right into moday nights leadership class

baby got a flat front tire, so we got it fixed (wheel is aligned now) and revs are still low

my record of 5 banana smothies in 24 hrs still stands (and that was half a pawpaw shake as well)

about to go to asian spice, then russian markets

got a moto from bec to russian markets 1500 riel (33cents) - i am a hard man

almost have a tan (i wish) then got sun burnt so there goes that hope

i need my daily banana shake fix

could have got happy in it for $2 in seinookville

ok ill go now

bye

luv ben xo
