On this very hot and sunny Wednesday, Josh and I braved the crazy traffic of the main road and crossed the street, adventuring once again into Tent City. This time, it was just the two of us and we brought a 'sei' with us. A sei is the Cambodian-style hacky-sack. It is plastic spring with colourful feathers sprouting out of it. This game is played by hitting it with your foot and also with your hands (fortunately for me!).
As soon as one boy spotted us, it wasn't long before his friends came running and we had a game of sei going.
I met a girl (she was probably 17) who spoke a little bit of English and she invited me to come sit in her tent, as her little brothers played sei. Josh met a young guy who spoke English well, and Josh is hoping to meet with him again on Sunday to talk about how he, his family and everyone else, ended up living in the field.
We are excited and honoured to build any relationships that we can with these precious people. We want to be carriers of His glory, bringing peace and hope where dreams do not even seem to exist. We want to fall more in love with Jesus and play with Him in Tent City.

Love God, and do what you will.
-St.Augustine
