The next few Journal Posts will report on our adventures in Cambodia. While in the middle of travelling and 'doing', it is difficult to sit down and convey to you everything that has taken place. (Not to mention inconsistent internet access)
John and Sotey Yoder - missionaries with Reaching Kids International - Cambodia - hosted us for a week of outreach to the villages they work with on a weekly basis. Weather was hot, the land is dry, and at the village of Phnom Basett (also called Rock Quarry Village) the swimming hole is almost dry. So a trip to the beach was planned. For most of the villagers - this was their first time to the beach! Ever!
Here is John's report of the Great Beach Adventure:
We
came to Sihanoukville , Cambodia (ocean beach resort town on the Gulf of Thailand
Gary
and Pat , along with RKI volunteer Dina and Sothary (our Khmer gospel teacher/
translator) helped the children in and out of the water to have the time of
their lives from mid-morning to late in the afternoon on Saturday the 16th of March.
Sotey did an incredible job purchasing all food, drinks, and beach
rentals. After Sotey handed out sea-sick medicine to all who get car sick
because they're not used to riding in moving vehicles (four hour bus trip one way), the
four of us spent the night in Sihanoukville then visited the Kbal Chhay
Waterfall on the way back to Phnom Penh.
Praise
God for showering these kids (and adults) with His love during this event, and for His provision
through the generosity of our faithful donors. It is a day they will never forget.
Stay tuned for the next installment of CAMBODIA JOURNEYS.
Live each day with purpose. Pat
