Saturday in Phnom Penh

Email from Greg:

Here's a recap of this year's adventure so far...

Plane ride was fine, not as nice as Singapore Air, but I'd use them again.

Hotel is way, way better. Clean, nice - the bathrooms are like ones in the states. Free breakfast is a large buffet - all you can eat.

Dinner at Rathany's house was wonderful, similar to eating at Sokhom's. We all hit it off well. Her family and some friends are all going to Lveasar tomorrow with us. Please pray for them - none of them are Christians.

Today we went to Digital Divide Data. It was a very good thing - lots of possibilities for partnership. I think the director was as happy to have Sokhom there as Sokhom was glad to be there. After that we went to Toul Sleng which was very near. Then to eat at a very nice restaurant with an incredibly large buffet. Rathany knows her way around Phnom Penh! From there we went to the Russian Market and got everything we (Michael and I) needed. But it wasn't enough time for Jennifer. That's probably good because all three of them were loaded down with stuff! From there we went to the Royal Palace - they all loved that too - and then called it a day and came back to the hotel. We went to Lucky Burger for supper and now Michael and I are here at the internet cafe. 

We have to leave now to go pick up Justin at the airport.

Explanation of some of Greg's email: 

Check out DDD on the web www.digitaldividedata.org - just reading about it on the web sounds very interesting. Sokhom is the director of the orphanage in Lveasar and he went with the team to tour DDD in anticipation of sending some of the orphans to work there after they finish high school - to be able to further their education - with a goal of becoming self-supporting one day. Sounds like the visit/tour went well.

Tonight (Texas time) - will be Sunday morning for them - they will be headed to the village of Lveasar (about an hour's drive) to go to church and visit with our precious orphans! Yes... I'd love to be there right now!
