I got to talk with Greg this morning (Tuesday night) for him. Technology is amazing. I'm talking on the phone to Greg in Cambodia and I have facebook up on the computer and my friend Linah in Kenya (Daraja Choir) pops up to chat on Facebook!
Greg said today was probably one of his best days ever in Cambodia.
He taught a couple of sessions to the church leaders, then The Mey taught in the afternoon - which allowed Greg to walk around and see what all was going on.
He ended up sitting down and within minutes Malin (the girl we sponsor) came up and snuggled up next to him. He put his arm around her. Ratany came and started chatting with Malin and Greg and translating for them. Ratany just randomly asked Malin what she would want Greg to do for her. Expecting an answer maybe about something she'd like for Greg to buy for her. Malin said "I want him to be my daddy. I want to go live with him. I also wish I could see my mom and my other brother." (referring to Jeff and I). He said Ratany became quite tearful and he tried his best to hold himself together in front of Malin. WOW! It's hard for me to even type this this morning. You know it's hard to see the computer screen with tears in your eyes. Greg said they had a great conversation and talked about her studies in school and what she wants to do in the future. Good stuff...
Sponsors, you ARE making a difference in the life of "your child".
Hair Design School... is UNBELIEVABLE. Greg said Jason and Jen said the students are picking up the instructions very quick. Four of their students are orphans (3 girls and 1 guy). Jen said they are probably picking up stuff the quickest and are very talented. Today during their second day of class, the students didn't want to break for lunch - they just wanted to keep on working!
Bible Club... going well - playing with the kids, acting out stories... having a great time together.
Water School... Steve has done such an incredible job teaching. Some new men walked up to see what they were doing - and instead of Steve answering their questions through the translator. The translator said your students are answering their questions correctly. Greg said he and the team drank water out of the Mekong River today - after it went through Steve's purification system. (I didn't ask... but I want to know if Jan and Jen drank the water???) This whole project is very exciting - clean water can come to multiple villages! Thanks, Steve for being so flexible and willing to be used by God.
The team went to Sokhom's house (pastor of Lveasar church and director of orphanage) Tuesday night to eat dinner. Greg said it was a wonderful meal. Sokhom told The Mey that he has felt the power of God in an amazing way in the village with all that the team is doing.
Keep praying,
Kathy
