The traffic was as erratic as I have ever seen. Poverty living amongst affluence, in an extreme we don't see in the west. These where a couple of my foremost thoughts as Jenny & I rode from Phnom Penh airport towards New Life in Christ Church with Pastor Keat Kove and his wife Sally. It is the tail end of the rainy season here in Cambodia and the result of that is quite evident. From the plane, I looked down upon flooded fields and washed out roads. The rains should be drying up quite soon, and the dry months will begin. It was a test of endurance to actually make it here. A 4 hr drive to Halifax where we spent Tuesday night. At 7:30am AST, we left Halifax for a 2 hr flight to Montreal. After a 2 hr wait we flew an hour and a half, or so, to Newark where we spent 11 hrs in a layover there. Then we flew 7 hrs to Anchorage, Alaska, where we had an hour stopover, and then our next leg was a monster 10 hrs to Taipei (the longest flight I have had)! We spent about 3 hrs in Taipei before a 3hr flight to Phnom Penh. We landed here at 1pm local time. We slept a bit and then took a tuk tuk to a market and got some food for the rest of the week. We are extremely excited to be here, and are anxiously awaiting the things God has in store.
Revelation 21:4 And He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes. There shall be no more death; there shall be no more mourning, or crying or pain; for the first things have passed away.
