Jum Reap Sour from Cambodia!

Jum Reap Sour Everyone!    

                                                                                                                                                                    I want to apologize for the delay. For some reason the blog has not been letting me type, but I found a laptop and am now able to write to you.                                                                                                           We flew from Brisbane to Singapore and then on to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We have been majorly blessed by God and have been privileged enough to stay at the University of Nations base. (UofN is a branch of YWAM that offers a large variety of courses you can take that are credited to most colleges.) We have been blessed with western toilets…and even toilet paper! The kitchen staff graciously prepare lunch and dinner for us every day that we sign up for it. As for breakfast we have toast with peanut butter and jam. Our meals consist of rice with some sort of meat and veggie to put on top. Lets just say I have had my fair share of rice.                                                                                                                                 As for ministry time, we have been at two different locations. The first two weeks we helped at a place called “Precious Women.” It offers jobs and training to women who are in the sex trafficking business. They can be trained and work at their beauty shop doing nails, hair, and massages. We helped them paint and move into their new building and built relationships with them. We also had the opportunity to go into the actual bars and restaurants where the women were selling themselves for sex. We talked with them and told them about Precious Women and offered them a way out. This week we are working with a group called “Children at Risk.” We go into the slums of Cambodia right outside of Phnom Penh. We teach them English, put together skits on different stories in the bible, teach them songs, and just hang out and love on them. Yesterday we had a day where we washed all the kids’ hair and washed there legs, feet, arms, and hands. We then brushed the girls’ hair and braided it. Tomorrow is our last day here and then we will head out to a small village to do ministry. After that we will head out to Sihanoukville where we will work with a prison ministry and another children’s ministry! Then my team and I will head back to Phnom Penh to catch out flight back to Byron Bay. After being in Australia for a week I will be traveling to New Zeeland with my friends Marissa and Kayla. Then off to Suttons Bay I go.                                                                                                                                       I don’t know how much internet I will have so I wanted to update you before I go. I want to thank everyone for supporting me. This has been a life-changing journey that I don’t want to end! God has taught me so much that will take with me wherever I go in life! All that is possible because of you guys so thank you!!!
