Well time passed swiftly, and before I knew it my three weeks in Cambodia were over. I had another incredible experience and am of course looking forward to my next visit, God willing.
Some of the things I am going to miss:
- seeing all the weird and wonderful ways to exercise in public at 5.30am - hand shaking, combined khmer dancing aerobic routines, hanging off tree branches as a kind of muscle building exercise, badminton, jogging.... the list goes on
- staying the night at the dorms - the girls always have so many interesting personal questions to ask
- seeing Steve and Lynne in action - their energy and enthusiasm is inspiring
- listening to heartfelt prayers that encourage me to be more expansive in my own prayers to God (thank you Brother K for quietly translating all these for me - it gave me an insight into the faith of our brothers I would not have gained unless I could understand Khmer comprehensively)
- having hot weather
- sitting on the curb outside the dorms in the early evening just chatting and laughing
- listening to the girls talking and giggling as they pass around a bottle of
roll on deodorant and wondering exactly what they're saying
- being able to teach the Bible to people willing to listen, and who ask such relevant questions
- dragonfruit and mangosteens
- negotiating traffic on the moto
- chicken satay at Asian Spice (new and updated premises, new and updated menu)
- Saturday evening fellowship feasts at the dorm (Sis Theavy sure knows how to cook)
- listening to 2 boys spontaneously break into a worship song just before the memorial meeting
The list is fairly endless. Needless to say, visitng our brethren in Cambodia is a heart warming experience that always brings one closer to God. As always, please remember God's work in this country in your prayers.
