The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round...

The wheels on the bus go round and round...unless you are stopped for 3 hours.  Yesterday proved to be a very long travel day.  We stopped along the highway to have lunch.  Soknang was showing off his Red Bull.  It's a good thing he had one and was energized because we left Phnom Pehn at 9am and arrived in Siem Reap at 7pm.  It's normally about 7 hours.  There was an accident along the way and we were able to witness a swift justice system including the investigation process, verdict, and penalty take place.

The terrain was so beautiful (hop on over to our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Fifty5five/ and I'll post some scenery video) along the drive.  Rice fields and stilted homes line the highway.  Watching the men fish with their nets and seeing the kids play in the water on the hot humid day made me smile.  There is just so much to take in visually.

One of the things that is always a mystery is our accommodations.  I'm always trying to be a good stewart of God's finances yet take care of the team.  The only information I had to go on was it is a small city.  We aren't sure where the training is being held (yep still don't) so it wouldn't matter where we stayed.  Priceline has this little feature that you can let them select a room for you and you get it for cheaper.  We use it all the time back home.  As we drove past all of these high class hotels exiting the city and driving down a dirt road it caused a bit on concern.  However, we arrived at our little Oasis and were quite pleased.

As of last night we still were not able to coordinate anything for today.  We are going to rest up from the travel, spend some time in study, prepare for tomorrow's teaching, find out were we are teaching, and venture out a bit.

First of all, thank you for your prayers.  There was a point that I wanted to reach out to the prayer warriors but it was the middle of the night back home.  We felt Ephesians 6:12 and watched the Lord at work.  We had some unique prayer time.  Honestly, we could feel the struggle intensely.  The Holy Spirit would move us in prayer and then reprieve.  That process repeated several times.  All you can do after such a thing is worship Him in awe.  My human words can not express the depths of respect, reverence, and awe this produced.  If the Lord had you awake last night praying be assured He was using you in a mighty way, thank you for your sacrifice.

Please keep us in prayer for continued travel mercies, health, and unity.  Also, for the final details to come together today and that I'll be able to get together with a few people I've received references to connect with.  God bless you all for your faithfulness in prayer.  I can not thank you enough for doing this trip with us.
