Wanted to apologize for the delay in posting the rest of the trip blogs. We travelled so hard and so fast and didn't have good internet, so it became impossible to keep up! We went to Cambodia, where most internet was "sketchy." Then, the Wood fami...

Monday January 30

We got up a bit later than we wanted to, because of the late night.

We had a lot to do, packing up and getting ready for the adventure to the border.

Sunday January 29

We woke up at 7:30, so tired still, and my back still hurting some.

We had planned to leave at 8 for Wat Rong Khun, the white temple, but couldn't.

Jon contacted Gop to ask if he could go back to the church and look for the card.  He said he would and as...

Jon went out to the desk and asked and they said they could get us on a 11:50 bus, so we...

Finally had worship around 8:30.  Jon shared a few verses from Hebrews 6:13-15, and we talked about what we can learn from them.  Th...

Monday January 23.

We had worship together and Lilyann shared about Enoch from the Conflict and Courage devotional.  We were all encouraged by it.

We had breakfast at Ricky's because everywhere else was closed. Monday is a holiday for some people here, and many shop...

Sunday the 22nd. 7:05 am. Waiting at the front of the guest house eating snacks from home and 7-11 for breakfast so we don't miss our minibus to the floating market. Tired. Jet lag still working on us!

Minibus came a few minutes early and we got in. Driver picked up the...
