After a total of 65 hrs travel time, we made it into our destination with a terrible landing!! I have been on literally over a hundred separate flights, and this may have the worst landing ever. The plane actually bounced, and bounced high enough to make our insides feel like we were on a roller-coaster! Then the pilot tried to regain control of the giant beast and we swayed left to right hard enough that we felt like we were at the Great Escape! Welcome to Cambodia!
We passed through immigration, and bought our visa, which is good for a month, and then landed at the Cambodian Mission Outreach center where many of the children from New Hope School were eagerly waiting for us. It was so awesome to see them again. Darlin, Gani, Dop Dop, Mey Mey, Junky, Ben 10, Dto Laa, and so many more have been missed by us greatly. We hope to have some influence in their lives on this trip as well.
After getting our bags in our room, we cruised downtown with Chhorn to Sorya shopping center and picked up some groceries, and we also splurged and got an electric kettle, and a blender! After that we were tired, so we slept.
Our roles for this trip have not been defined yet, so we are meeting with Keat today or tomorrow and chatting about the whole of ministry here and what has changed, and what we'll be doing here. Jenny & I are here to serve Keat and Sally, so we'll be doing whatever they need us to do.
It feels good to be back. Even though the city is filthy, and poverty is rampant, and the bad seems to outnumber the good everywhere your eyes turn, we look not at what we want to do here, but what God wants us to do. And we pray we are obedient to do exactly that.
