Connections of the Heart

The Apostle Paul went on many missions to encourage believers.  There are times in our missions that God allows us to do just that.  Yesterday was a productive and blessed day. At the top of the list was connecting with old (young) friends. Due to the genocide between 1975-79 carried out by the Khmer Rouge regime led by Pol Pot which an estimated one and a half to three million people died. This accounts for 50% of the population being under the age of 25.  We met Phealy & Daleap in 2007 on our first trip to Cambodia. They attended teacher training to learn new skills for Sunday School teaching.  We've been blessed to connect with Daleep multiple times as she came to the States for a year and we connected back up on our last visit.  Phealy was in Columbia at that time so we missed her.  Our hearts were just so full yesterday spending some time with both of them.  

We took a little break in the pouring rain at the end of our busy day (so excuse the hair between the humidity and the pouring rain) to take Bob to see a little of the local culture.  We took tuk tuks to the Palace Gardens.  The grounds were very lovely but it really must grieve God's heart to see all the temples erected.  

The team is doing well.  Bob is still talking about another trip with us so he isn't over us yet=-).  Thank you for your continued prayer.
