The Journey Continues...

It has been a while since I've been able to write an update, but I've been keeping a daily journal so I won't forget all that's happened since I left back at the end of July. For now, I'll give you the quick recap version:

My boss, his two children and I left Vietnam safely (by bus) and crossed the border into Cambodia. We spent a day visiting the 'killing fields', and an old school turned museum which held prisoners of Pol Pot's regime at one time. It was definitely an educational experience as I was clueless that these things were happening... as recent as the 70s. It was sad and horrific to see what they had to endure.
I started teaching at Bright Voice Service Center about the first of the month and have been teaching 4 classes a day. This is my main work and a large part of my experience here- and it is going so well. I can feel the Spirit moving in class and I love seeing the students ask more questions about God. I often use the Bible while I teach and am able to engage my older students more deeply on topics such as love and faith. I could go on with specific stories and talk more about my students ...but this is the condensed version.
Another part of my journey here in Southeast Asia took me to Bangkok, Thailand. I spent a weekend there with another teacher from the Service Center. We had an enjoyable time seeing and riding elephants and spending time with a missionary as he showed us around.
Since then, I've been back at the Center teaching and spending more time with my students. I'm so glad they enjoy practicing their English with me and some have even invited me to do activities with them outside of class in the city or countryside. This has enabled me to see what life outside the capital is like.. and it is an unforgettable experience.
The Service Center is currently taking a break from the normal routine to hold a Youth Summer Camp near the beaches of Cambodia for a few days. They have asked me to come along and be in charge of the games. I enjoy being here with them, and am continuing to learn about what it means to serve with Christians of a different language.
I finish up my time in Cambodia on the 28th of August - will be back in Korea on the 29th and will be heading back to America on the 5th of September.
Thank you for your prayers- as I'm a part of one work in one place in this huge world- I see how prayer is so important for God's work around the world. God continues to supply what we need, and He keeps us connected whether or not we know the specifics. I can't wait to be back and share the stories with you..
