i am here in cambodia. internet facilities are available from the office. thank god, at least i get to still keep in touch with everyone back home
dont worry ya. i am in good hands.
the lord has been good.
so far people that i have been in contact with are the ministry workers that consist of malaysians, koreans and local cambodians.
i've also been to the streets on the bus to serve the street kids.
its heartbreaking to see the kids infected by AIDS. they have beautiful eyes and nice features but the wounds and scars on their body, with the defects because of AIDS is just saddening to see.
i couldnt help my tears from falling as i washed their hands, cut their nails.. these kids have so much more to live for.. there are so many more things in this world that they deserve to see.. but because of their background, they are stranded to picking rubbish, being controlled by the syndicates on the streets, and when the syndicates cannot control them , the children are given glu to sniff.. and some of them are as young as 5 years old. they cant even read or write.. not because they are stupid.. but just because they havent been given the opportunity to do so..

my schedule when im here will be rather packed.. its interesting. because i get to fully serve without having to bother about what time is class later, dont have to bother about assignments..

i will be mostly with the orphanage called kingdom kids home as well as the bus ministry that goes out to the city about 5 times a week.

weekends will be when we chill as a team.. with the bus bringing us to the city for sightseeing as well as shopping for our grocery need for the week/.

sundays, morning i will be going to a local church that is conducted in khmer, and in the afternoon at 3, i will be going to a church called INternational Christian Fellowship where most of the missionaries in Phnom Penh attends.

so far so good. i have been writing a lot aswell. plan to write down every thought i have when im here. whether it is about what i am facing here with everything new that i see, or even thoughts about the future and where i am heading...
