This is our last night in Sihanoukville. Tomorrow, the Holbeche's and us are on a 2.5 hr boat ride to the island of Koh Rong Saloem. There, we will stay for 2 days/3 nights at the Lazy Beach private tropical hideaway. This is a chance for us all to get away from internet, cell phones, tv, etc etc, and just spend some good ole quality time reading, reflecting, and spending time with God, without the everday distractions that hinder those events. It will be a time to process what we have seen and learned here. The more you delve into the Cambodian culture, the more depth you see which needs to be explored before any of it can be truly understood. It is a culture that is so far removed, or foreign, to what we are content with, that it is difficult to grasp even the simplest things about it. History has been the great ally, and worst enemy, of these people.
On the 24th we return to Phnom Penh, and on the 25th we attend a seminar on the sex trade and young boys. Then we will round off the week with the Holbeche's, and start our teaching schedule back up on the 30th.
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.
