We’re here!! February 24, 2010

Filed under: Uncategorized — crtw @ 11:05 am

We finally arrived in Cambodia late last night after two LONG flights!  We met Theara at the airport and then checked into our hotel (which is very, very nice! =) ).  Everyone is doing really well and we have already adjusted to the time change thankfully.  The weather so far is sunny and warm.  Today we enjoyed breakfast at our hotel and began a day of touring.  To understand the Cambodian culture and what has happened to the country we went to a genocide museum and visited the Killing Fields.  This is where many Cambodians were innocently tortured and killed so it was very moving to see the faces of the victims.  After this, we spent the day in Phnom Penh eating lunch (which was also great!) and shopping in the Russian market where we practiced our bargaining skills.  We are now sitting in our hotel relaxing before we go to work for the next 7 days! Please keep us in your prayers as God begins to really open our eyes to the needs of His children in this part of the world.  Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers =)  See everyone soon!

    Hi all! Glad to hear you made it there safely and had a great first day!!

    Greg…that 5 min slow blower demo…didn’t help. :-) You forgot to include the part that it can get flooded and it really doesn’t like going through 8″ of heavy, wet snow (w/o getting clogged every 2 seconds anyway). 3 1/2 hours later we finished – and my arms are still attached (yes Ryan helped – in between the snowball fights and making snowmen)! :-) The house is still standing, we’re fed and bathed and I learned how to use the oven :-) ! Seriously though, we miss and love you very much. At tonight’s small group I will say a prayer for you all!

    Take care and keep safe! Love Kris and Ryan
