The end is near.

Wish I had more time to write you or could explain everything that has been going on with myself, the team, and our ministry. But that seems nearly impossible to comprehend right now. It has been going well though, I had an amazing birthday :) and this is our last week! So crazy! Please be praying because due to certain situations with the girls home, camp had to be canceled so our plans for this week are changing. Also be praying for the girls and the situation that they all have to deal with consequences of. There was a graduation ceremony for some of them who are in a work program that I got to attend and help with a song/dance. It was incredible to celebrate this accomplishment with them and to continue some of the relationship-bonding- especially with a girl that I teach English to. It will be hard to leave them and be just another person in their life that came for a time and went but I pray that God really uses it. But for now I am out of time and the next update will be from home in the States!

Update again.

Time is going by kind of fast, can't believe it's July already. Busy with schedule and planning but the great people here keep me going. I love the Khmer people. Please pray as we change villages this week. We will continue with the girls shelter throughout and we just got news we will end the summer with a bang by helping put on a 3-day camp for them! We are all really excited about this opportunity and the person we are helping facilitate this with is not a believer, more like a "spiritual" person (Asheville friends should be familiar with this). But it will be a cool opportunity to work with her, potentially difficult with some planning, but great nonetheless to hopefully have Christ shine through that. I miss ya'll a lot and cannot believe i will be making another move soon. Thank you so much for all of you who are continuing to be a part in my life through it all. Your support means so much. Please pray that I won't be discouraged about the purpose here and be excited for whatever we get to do. It is hard to sometimes know how to invest with such a short time but I am still so confident God has us here. Today, we had the opportunity to teach a church fellowship- taking part in communion and washing their feet was such a neat experience. .... Time to go back out on the bicycle.
