Photo's to date......

This is at the slum village in the first week.....

Jolie (centre front) and I shared with this group and then prayed with approx 6 of the ladies who recieved Jesus that day. They wanted to come to church, so we told them about the tuk tuk (long trailer style) Heartland sends each Sunday for the other christian in the village .
I haven't been able to follow up on them yet , as I was sick with throat/chest infection and unable to go back while I was unwell.



On our way home from another visit to the slum village, (Which has been renamed Freedom Village by Heartland - to give hope, not hopelessness) our tuk tuk broke a clutch cable.

So... when you are in Cambodia and your tuk tuk breaks a clutch cable what do you do???.... Push it around town to 4 different 'mechanic shops' till you find one that has clutch cable of course....der!!!

Pastor Chenna was with us and took the photo. We were late back for English class, but hey..the adventure and the exercise were worth it!!
This little boy is 8 years old. His name is Psaal. (spelling mine) He fell asleep in my arms in about 5 minutes. A warm and comfy spot I suppose - even in the arms of a stranger.

I presume he'd had an early morning start wandering the streets collecting recyclables to sell. This is a very common way for the children to suppliment the family income, so they get fed.


He was sweet.....

I love this photo......

Twice per week we walk 20 mins to Windy Village where we do a feeding/teaching/church programme. On Sunday mornings it starts at 7am. This gives us the opportunity to see the villagers in full swing of their daily farming duties.
These ladies are farming some sort of water lilly, that is edible and sold as food, I believe.
I would decorate my house with it!!!

These last two are for Josh & Stephan Sorenson....
Josh - big boys do sleep on noisy, crowded, uncomfortable buses- here's the proof!
Stephan - you're a better man that me...!!!

End of Today's entry. I pray a blessing for every person that reads this entry.

Regards, Lane (Occy to some special people in Coffs harbour !!).
