Everything is going well here! Sunday we went to church at the Siem Reap Christian Fellowship, which is an international church that meets in the afternoons since a lot of the members are missionaries, involved elsewhere Sunday mornings. Lindsey, Robin, Jonny, and I led worship with the help of Noel and Fe (the missionaries we're working with), which was a blast. Four of the girls led Sunday School for the 3-5 year old kids, which was...trying, I heard haha.
After church, we went to Noel and Fe's favorite spot to eat, a Khmer food buffet with traditional live music and a traditional dance show, which was fantastic.
Ministry this week has been preschool every morning, a few girls also coming to the preschool in the afternoon, and the rest of us going to the village every afternoon. I taught the village kids prepositions of place this week: on, in, under, next to, behind, and in front of. They picked it up really quickly! Yesterday a baby peed on Kathy's shirt.
Tuesday night we went out to the carnival with the team from Florida that's also staying at the YWAM team house. It's a local Cambodian hangout, off the tourist path, so we definitely stood out as we rode the FAST ferris wheel, the tiny rollercoaster than went through a cloud of bugs on each pass, and played a game of throwing darts at balloons to win prizes.
Yesterday I helped an Australian missionary who's been working with Noel and Fe, named Glen, start her blog so that she can share stories and pictures that way with her friends and supporters back home. I'm still plugging along on the website for Noel and Fe's ministry, and today I'm starting a blog for the preschool! I hadn't predicted my work here involving so much web help, but I'm glad to get to share a bit of expertise in that way.
