It's Wednesday? Whoa, time is flyyyying by! Guys I am loving it here! The kids are great, the people, the food (seriously no complaints here... however I am more of an adventurous one when it comes to trying new things -- me and David), and the weather is much more tolerable than I was anticipating. Seriously, ATL is just as hot and muggy as it is here.
I decided to stop taking my doxycycline yesterday. I hope from here on out my immune system alone will be suffice. I was developing an ever growing, ever angry rash I believe is an allergic reaction to the medicine. So keep me in your prayers for good health..... :) Bring it malaria.
I can't tell you how nice it is to get away and immerse yourself here, in this culture, with these sweet kids. My worries and anxieties back at home have all melted away. Here, life is raw, existential, simple, beautiful, and invigorating. I'm learning a lot about myself, the world, how we are as human beings - and relate to one another regardless of language.
Oh yea, I wanted to tell everyone to go on Amazon RIGHT NOW and get this book: "Ordeal in Cambodia". It is written by the man who has started the 3 orphanages we're serving here. It's his story of how he and his wife escaped Cambodia during a time of vicious warfare. It's a short book, in large print, **a very fast read. Seriously, it is so unbelievably touching. You'll thank me.

Hi Everyone!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you are all doing so well!
On Rachael Walkup's blog, it looks like you were flooded last night and this morning.... She said that they had to practically swim to their bus!
Sarah, thanks for the book idea... I will look it up on Amazon today.
Praying for all of you!
