Yeah...they made it!!!

Thanks for your prayers...the Vista team arrived safely in Phnom Penh today. It seems that everything went smoothly on their trip, even though there was a huge snowstorm in Columbus when they left. It was so good to see them at the airport - and a little surreal for me to see people that I know:) They had a chance to rest before we went out to the school for a little while and then got to spend time with our kids at the Vista orphanage. Here are a few shots from the afternoon...

Mike is hanging out with Sreyroth and Cheata at the orphanage.

Kelly (Mike's friend from Texas) got quite the workout. All the kids wanted to be lifted into the air by him.

Kim poses with a couple of children from other orphanages.

Morgan and a bunch of the children

Gina and the kids

Morgan and Rebekah


Kids from Prek Eng 1 perform a dance.

The older kids from Prek Eng 3 perform a traditional dance.

Mike and all of our kids. He's the white guy.

Kim and Kimhou

Mike, Kim, Gina, and Morgan enjoy watching the kids dance.



They all went to bed early tonight as it has been a long couple of days. Please continue to pray for their trip...there is a lot planned for this time. Tomorrow, we will get to spend the whole afternoon at our orphanage.

Jen,
Thank you so much for this update. I can hardly see the words on the screen because I am crying. It is surreal to see pictures of Morgan with the blessed children I have watched interact with you for the last several months.
Thank you for making my day.
