Introducing...

Baby Eden! Here are the first pics of 3-day-old Eden. He is so beautiful! The pictures really can't capture how tiny he is. He and Pisey came home from the hospital yesterday. But please pray for Pisey...she is having some complications since the birth. The doctor will visit her tomorrow. Pray that she will heal completely.



Tonight was our last day with the kids. We started at the school to see all the kids and then went to Vista's home to spend some extra time with them. Sony, Savorn's wife, cooked us all a fabulous meal. We had some of my absolute favorites, and everyone agreed that it was delicious! I am going to miss Southeast Asian cooking!

The big kids are ready to eat...

and so are the little kids...

and so is the team:)

Fried rice with chicken...one favorite
And Mi Cha (Fried noodles)...another

Then it was time for fun...ball games, new sunglasses, silly string, glow sticks, and lots of laughs.

Don't they look cool?






I will upload a few more pics tomorrow while waiting at the airport.

At the end, we prayed for Pisey. Then, we got to share our love and encourage the kids as Savorn translated our words to them. The good-bye was a tear-filled one for adults and kids alike. Our children are so precious...it's tough to leave them! But, they are such a joy and light to all around them. Please continue to pray for their growth and development physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

We are off on our first flight around 11am tomorrow morning...which is 12am Friday morning for you. After that, I will have no idea what time zone I am in until I get to the states:) But, I will keep you posted on our trip back!
