Technology is awesome! Randy just texted me to get on Skype and we talked for about half an hour! He was on the computer in the hotel lobby which is pretty slow, so he asked me to blog for him. Something that was funny to me is that in the middle of our conversation, he realized it was 6:30 am there, not 7:30 am like he thought! He is not a morning person, so that was pretty funny. He said that he had had plenty of sleep though because he went to bed at 8:00. Sounds like maybe they are getting more adjusted to being 13 hours ahead of us here!
Last night (for them) they went to Rotany's parents' house for dinner. He said it was such a neat experience: they ate on mats on the floor, and her mom had cooked so much food. They ate beef on a stick, fried rice, curry soup, french bread, and some "really potent sauce made of salt, pepper, and lime." His favorite was the beef on a stick. He also said they didn't wear any shoes. He said they were so hospitable and kind to the team.
Randy also said that last night he, Steve, and Ronnie drank some pineapple juice, and then The Mey said that might not have been a good idea. Pray against them getting sick!!
Today they go to digital data divide, the killing fields, the palace and maybe some shopping...tomorrow to church at levesar. We'll update more as we hear!
Oh my - why did they drink the pineapple juice?
ReplyDeleteYeah! So good to hear some news! Will be praying for the pineapple juice and their stomachs. Greg has meds to share if needed.
ReplyDeleteThe people of Cambodia are very hospitable - even those who have little.
Sounds like they have a full day ahead of them.
Will pray for the juice also. For MX & Kenya we would on occasion treat ourselves to fruit - as long as it had a rind or thick peel that could be removed as opposed to just washed with local water - such as pineapple. The concern might come back if the juice was diluted with local water. It is so hard to refuse the food/drink because people are so very hospitable...plus the fruit is usually so very, very fresh and good...not like our grocery store produce. Not sure if it is the same in Cambodia. Tell the guys that they might want to 'pop' a few meds...just in case :)
