Hello all - I made it!
This is not going to be the post you've all been hoping for because I'm sitting in my host's office, typing furiously before I get picked up to go to my first day of work at the Daycare. The Rheas, who run the daycare, are going to be here in ... 3 minutes, eek!
After spending days on airplanes and in airports, I made it here to Cambodia at 8 pm on Saturday, to find Bonnie and one of her kids, Petra, holding a "sarah" sign outside the airport doors. I could've cried I was so happy to see them because seeing them meant they would take me to a place where there was a bed, and at that point, well, I would've done almost anything to get horizontal.
Bonnie and Co are a friendly, fun crew and have just moved to this beautiful new house that is clean and huge and located in a place called "New World 2," which amuses me more than I can explain here. It really is like a new world, based on the things I've seen from car windows or from the sides of the tuk-tuks and in it, I have my own little bed and bathroom complete with a shower (heaven!) and western style toilet that i can throw tp straight into (see future post on squat toilets...) Oh the luxury!
Hey, my ride is here! I'm going to find an internet cafe soon and upload pictures and use the notes I've been taking in my journal for some really good posts, but for now, from Bonnie's work computer just before I fly out the door, this will have to do!
if I could speak Khmer, I'd say "bye" that way right now, but again, perhaps in a future post?

Great to hear from you. Imagining Bonnie with the "Sarah" sign made us a little teary with gratitude and affection for your host. We are staring at the gorgeous sight of islands and blue blue sky and water from our elegant mountain villa... How wonderful that we can be in the virgin islands, and you are in Cambodia, and still be in touch. grateful for you and the adventures that lie ahead of you as you serve the Lord and the people He loves. love you! mom & dad :-)
