It is Saturday afternoon and we are back from the town of Kampond Cham.  It is a busy town, but not quite as noisy as Phnom Penh.  Traffic is still crazy.  We visited a Vietnamese literacy school and did health assessment on the students.  The missionaries, making contact with people in outlying village and building relationships with them.  Dr. Don is in the process of writing material for Christians in the churches on servant leadership, forgiveness, commitment to marriage.    We spent an evening with them and the other missionaries in the area enjoying a time of worship.

                      Robert & Judy, with their 4 children have been in Kampong Cham for 10 months.
                       We shared the Lord's Supper with them.  They tell us what encouragement it is
                                                                 for them to have us there. 

                        At Lazy Daze Cafe we met a 6 year old pool shark who really put Frank to the test.


After clinic we had some time to see a Buddhist Temple. Enjoy the pictures!


                                          

                                    


Friday we went to Siem Reap to do physicals on children and adults.  The villagers have not had medical care for some time, so we were challenged to figure out what was wrong with them.  They speak Khmer

so, I asked our English/Vietnamese translator a question, she translated to our Vietnamese/Khmer translator and they then asked the patient the question in Khmer.  Then they have to translate the answer back.  It takes a lot of time and we were not always sure if the question would come out the way we asked it.  :)

We do some sightseeing tomorrow, Sunday, then meet with the missionaries we worked with for a good-bye supper.  Our flight takes off at 11:40pm.  We will touch down in Mpls. on Monday afternoon.Look forward to getting some rest and reconnecting with each of you.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers over the past 2 weeks.  We have definitely felt them.

Two more days to go, so keep praying for rest and safety as we fly home to the US.

Love to all,  Karin
