This Sunday our team had the chance to go to church and relax later in the day. We split up and participated in two different churches in the city. At New Jerusalem, Mel and Jamie shared their stories with the church and Scott played guitar with the worship band. Also, Jamie and Scott got to connect with students they met five years ago in Phnom Penh, which was so cool! After the Khmer service, we all just hung out with the students and got to meet the pastor. Meanwhile, at Cell Church, Eileen, Liz, Kim, & John were able to spend time with their English students while one of our international workers translated. As the Cambodians sang “As the Deer” in Khmer, we joined in worshiping in English.
After a chance to rest for a bit, we took a tuk-tuk ride to Wat Phnom (which means “temple on a hill”). At Wat Phnom, we rode an elephant named Sambo! Sambo has a harness with a seat attached on top of his back and two people at a time ride Sambo. We have many, many pictures!
Today (Monday), we had the opportunity to spend an extended time in worship together. We talked about all that God did in us and through us and encouraged the strengths that we have seen in one another. We also went to the market today and had some ice cold lattes at the internet café.
This is our last blog entry before we return home. We will be flying out tomorrow morning (Tuesday); first to Taipei, then to Anchorage, then to New York. Please pray that we would get a bit of sleep and arrive home safely. Pray for our awesome drivers who will pick us up at the New York airport around midnight and drive us back to Daybreak around 3am!
