 Sour Sdey! Greetings from Kampuchea!

I've lived in Siem Reap Cambodia for 5 weeks. Besides the random happenings of, say, a girl on our team getting struck by lightning at the world's largest religious structure, or my roomie getting Dengue Fever, life is normal and ordinary in its own ways here. But boy, IS IT HOOOOOTTTT. I had no idea that you can sweat out of so many places. Surprisingly, I've only eaten ice cream once a week on average. Shocking, I know! I miss those Coldstone runs, my lovely ladies.

I like it here mostly because of the Cambodians. They have so many stories to tell--some heart-warming, some that are so sad. I realized last week I had never met a Khmer person until this trip.

I'm safe and enjoying my time, but I miss home. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again but not quite ready to return yet. Especially with the news about James A., it was a rough reminder that the heart of life is in relationships. May these last weeks open my eyes to what's good and true.


 

Look! All my dreams!! A picture with a monkey! He's hiding behind the leaf!! Apparently, wild monkeys are not as nice as they are cute.

My love to everyone. I miss you all! No need to comment on my tan when I return. The Cambos tell me all the time how much I look like them!
