Day 4: Cambodia rule number 1 so dedicatedly communicated by our leader is DRINK WATER. It's hot. Hotter than Florida in August, without the luxury of a pool or beach to cool off in. Drinking lots of water is vital as we are sweating and working hard out in the sun. Stuart constantly looks like he has sprung a leak somewhere from the top of his head :)
Rule number 1 is followed obediently by all of us not only because we need it, but because no one would want to get dehydrated or sick and miss one second of the time we have with these kids. We've used words like "amazing" and "incredible" to describe the kids at Battambang New Life Church, but from experiencing it now for myself, there simply aren't words to communicate the joy, love, and caring that the kids share with each other and with us, and we gladly give in return. Selfishness and materialism do not exist in this place of the world best described by Tom as "a little slice of heaven." We are getting ready to head back over there shortly to begin our day, I can't wait to see what God shows us today in these beautiful children!
