Sunday

The last few days have been busy busy busy. Sunday began with a warm welcome from the people of the United Methodist church in Phnom Penh. The church made a strong attempt to include us in the service by putting english words behind each line in the program and having english lyrics to "Shout to the Lord" written underneath the khmer words. With the help of Pa Nous Pan translating, our own Clifton Conrad shared his message about "connections" to the audience.

From there, we drove to the mission house where we did last minute sorting of our supplies and medicines before leaving for heading to Kampong Chhnang where the "Hilton"of Cambodia awaited our arrival. We met our local help that night- local pastors, dentists, translators, etc.- at dinner.


On our way home from dinner, our busdriver (who did not speak much english) left the restaurant area and brought us home...or atleast he tried. We ended up down a dirt road with house/hut/shacks all lined up along the Mekong river. Locals were mostly hanging outside their homes, living their lives and watching our bus drive through. Obviously not where we were supposed to be, but it was an adventure to observe how some people live.
