Greeting from Asia!

hello all.

Im sorry its been so long. Last time we came to a cafe my computer would not work. But that doesnt really matter...

On saturday we arrived here & just relaxed some. went out to dinner, unpacked, ect. Sunday we went to the church/school for the kids. We sang & had worship with them. It was so sweet to praise the same God yet in a different language. We then played with them all day. It was awesome to see just how open they were to use. They would just hug you for like ten minutes straight. Sunday I didn't feel the best because of the heat. But I could feel the prayer & am feeling fine now. Monday we visited this torture/jail area used during the Pol Pot time. We know so little about this time. I recommend researching it.

We then taught english in the afternoon. Elizabeth (really sweet girl from OH) and I taught the kindergardeners. They knew NOTHING so we taught the abc's the WHOLE time. But after teaching we went to one of the orphanages. This one was sponsored by momentum but not built (we see those in Bottom Bong on thursday, we are in Penom Pen right now) We played with the kids as usual & made tye-dye shirts with them. Jess, our leader, took their portraits for the update. YOu can not adopt these kids but you can support them!!

Well this was really random but I hope you enjoyed it. Keep praying. TIme to head back home. LOVE YOU ALL!

  1. Rissa, sounds like things are going well. We loved the pictures on Jessica's blog. Get as many hugs from the kids as you can and keep drinking water. We miss you much and look forward to hearing more! Remember to take lots of pictures! Love, Mom and Dad
