Wednesday evening:
Today started out great!! I got to talk to Greg and wish him a happy birthday!! It was a surprise for both of us!! Thank you Kathy for arranging that!!
Today we left the hotel at 8:00 headed for Lveasar!! Sokhom had told the kids at the orphanage that they would have a visitor today but did not tell them that it was us. When we showed up they were so surprised and excited to see friends from America!!
It was worth all the time, energy and money to get here just for this one day!! It was so much fun!! All the hugs, smiles and laughter!!!
They had so much fun playing with all the jump ropes, hula hoops, frisbees and soccer balls!! We had a great big very long recess!!
Randy and Ashley, Toma is awesome with a hula hoop!! He was laughing so much!! But the best was Sokhom!! All the kids got a kick out of watching Sokhom hula hoop!! It was great fun!!
We had three translators with us and a technician from Tida's work. Yesterday when Joe was at Tida's, they installed a Khmer to English program on four lap tops. The technician went with us to set up a lap top on their generator and to teach Sokhom how to use it. This will be great for our kids to help them learn English!!
Tonight we are exhausted and ready for bed!! It is a good tired!!
In the morning we leave for Sihanoukville!! We are excited to go with Saém's church to the conference!!
Good night from Phnom Penh!
