So Much To Process

Hey everybody. Thanks for all your prayers. Today we went to New Life Church, worshiped with the congregation and listened to an entire sermon in Khmer, the language spoken in Cambodia. Many of the children from the New Life Orphanage were at church. JB, Billy and Scott are celebrities. The kids rushed to them with arms open wide for hugs.

After church we walked down the market. The sights, sounds and smells are difficult to describe. The smell is a mixture of garbage, fish, exhaust from mopeds and the heat the mixes it all together.

We ate lunch at place called BT Cat Burger. Unfortunately today they were not on their game. Our meals took a long time to get to the table. Overall it wasn't that bad.

After lunch we hung out with the kids at the orphanage for about 3 and a half hours. The kids. We took photos, played volleyball, made necklaces, talked and even made up weird games. Patrick and I made up some insane game of keep away with a football in this small room that was as hot as a sauna. There were 8 or 9 other boys in there chasing and tackling us. It was so much fun. Many of us were soaked with sweat. The humidity and heat here are intense.

Tomorrow we begin our project. We'll be creating walkways for the orphanage. They're in the middle of monsoon season and the dirt is muddy. Creating these walkways will keep the children from walking in the mud.

Thanks again and we'll keep everything updated as long as Teo Hotel has an Internet connection.

God bless you. James.
