Things are really going well here. God has opened some doors to minister in Chiang Rai (Thailand) for a few days and also to visit Laos, with a couple of friends from Australia (Mimi & Lisa). I leave for Thailand in about 2 hours. Part of our trip is to Destiny Rescue in Chiang Rai, and to minister in the hill top tribes. Very exciting stuff!!!!!
Also, last week, as I was sitting in the English class at New life Fellowship, I got a gentle reminder from God, of what I am really here for. The relief English teacher (at New life fellowship) was rambling on a bit and doing a lot of talking ( the aim of teaching english class is MORE student talking time (STT), and LESS teacher talking time (TTT) I was sitting privately comparing his style of teaching to our usual teacher, & criticising his over the top TTT. When all of a sudden he plunged into his full on testimony, witnessing for God. He explained to our class, of mixed religions, how he used to be a gangster, and fight and drink etc. How God had changed his life, and how his family's religion (Buddism) didn't help him at all. He gave some insight into the customs here and how young men go to be a monk at 18 years of age. Then all of a sudden their parents have to bow down and worship them.... It was great!! What a reminder hey??? It was like God giving me a gentle slap in the ears. Good stuff, I like it...!!!
Below are just some interesting things I have found in in Phnom Penh:- I really liked they way they have done this wall at one of the posh hotels.
I was told by one of the staff that this is a statue
of the man who wrote the Khmer dictionary.
He is obviously very revered.
This man carries his shop on his bike.
I thought this lady was very brave, tackling the Phnom Penh peak hour traffic on a bicycle... She looked like she was leaving from work, and was trying to cross a busy main road.
I am not sure what this building is, but a lovely example of the Khmer architecture.
This is a game the nationals play in the park. They stand in a circle 
and pass this shuttle cock type of thing to each other by kicking it into the air. It's quite interesting to watch.
Some take away food on mthe side of the street, at the river front. Yum!!! Anyone for lunch???
The littler things are baby ducks, they also eat them still in the egg, just before they are about to hatch. Quite a delicacy for them apparently.
This is a part of the kings palace, but just the entry I think. You have to pay about $9 to go in and have a tour. I haven't got there yet.
This man is a regular begger at the river front. Sometimes the beggers are trafficked also, and don't get the money themselves. Sort of like having an employer? or pimp. It's a pretty sad existence all the same..
This young man and his brother wre doing their jo, collecting recycables through the streets of the tourist area of Phnom Penh.
This isa regular sight. It would most likely be this families house for the night. Many families live in the open air on the river front. Some of our girls have come from there also, and their families are still living in those conditions.
This is the Phnom Penh Post Office. I have to take a tuk tuk ride all accross town to get there.

Well that is just a short and sweet look at some photos I have been collecting. As I said earlier, I am off to Chiang Rai, Thailand, tonight. Then on to Laos. So i will keep you posted on what God did, and had us do there. Love and Blessings Lane.
