Cambodia!

We made it safely to Cambodia! The flights themselves were uneventful, but when we have more time, we will tell you the saga of our day. But we are here, and excited to see what God is going to do. I (Jen) am so glad to be back. This is my third time here, and it's good to see old friends and be in this country again. It's like coming home...only in Asia:)

We only have a few minutes at an internet cafe before we head to a Bible study with university students. Tomorrow, we will be visiting a museum that chronicles the Khmer Rouge genocide that took place here in the seventies. We will also be taking all 3 orphanages in Prek Eng to the waterpark. Vista friends....we will get to meet the orphans we sponsor! We promise to take lots of pictures.

A couple of prayer requests. Please pray for our health. I seem to have hurt my shoulder somehow and Cristen has developed a sinus infection. Neither are preventing us from enjoying each moment.

We will blog again when we can get back to the internet cafe. And we will post more pictures then!

Don't know any cures for a hurt shoulder. Guess I'll just have to pray there. Cristen, not surprised to hear about the sinus issue. This always happens when you fly. Try to drink plenty of fluids, tea if possible. Other home remedies inhaling steam from hot water for 10 min. If that isn't possible try either a cold or hot compress on the sinuses. Oddly enough you can also eat extremely spicy. Any hot peppers there? I guess my maternal instincts kicked in big time. Praying for all of you. Love, Mucho HUGS!!!
