It's a Saturday morning in Phnom Penh! Sometimes it is hard to believe that we are halfway across the world from our little Greensboro, NC.
We returned from the Snaor Village of the Kuy people yesterday morning. It was a long drive back (approximately 7 hours)! Who knew remote villages could be so....remote? We enjoyed every minute of the drive because we were able to bond, laugh and tell stories with the students. We were able to see some of the farm land and the workers while we drove. Cambodia is so unbelievably beautiful - we can see God's handiwork in everything.
When we reached the village, we had some time to walk down to the school and see the students. We taught them some English while we were there - just on the very first day! The children were so precious and sweet. In the evening, we played games and told stories to the children which was such a blessed time to see their smiling faces and hear their laughter. We taught them the song "Yes, Jesus Loves Me" and the corresponding hand motions. Our translators told them the meaning in Khmer so the students would know who they were really singing about.
The following day, we went to the school again to teach and visited the believers before returning to camp to spend time with the children after school. We sang songs and played games around the campfire with them. The students were able to make bracelets with the art supplies that Ele brought, and we handed out toothbrushes and t-shirts to them.
The Crossroads students have such a heart for the Kuy children and we could see how God had put this village on their hearts while we were there.
Today, we will be seeing Carrie again for the first time since our return and cheering while the students play soccer! We are so excited to see what God has planned for us next!
