For a few days last week Cambodia was experiencing weather that's uncharacteristic for January. The mornings were actually cold (around 20C) and the rain was keeping many students from venturing the streets to attend the English classes. I was actually wearing my Roots sweatshirt in the mornings and drinking a hot tea while teaching English. The Cambodian teachers laughed at me and claimed that I was becoming Khmer because I was feeling cold easily the way that they do. 
     Now the weather has returned to normal and the departure of the rain falls has left that sweet 'after the rain' smell that reminds me of the Calgon body spray that I used to buy before they discontinued it. That smell of summer lingers in the air, producing a sense of cabin fever and an excitement for what is to come.
     Two missionaries Geoffrey and Jessica have arrived from Los Angeles, and they'll be here serving for several months. It's awesome to hang out with them. We've been going through the book of Romans together each night after dinner, and I feel a relief in the sense of community that our fellowship brings. We also hit up Pizza World's 2 for 1 pizza on Tuesday which is always a great idea.
      My English class, being the highest level, continues to be small. Lately I've had only 2 or 3 students come which is quite the contrast from the lower level classes with are packing in about 40 students. I enjoy this opportunity though, because 2 of the students who come are new Christians and one of them is not a Christian but is considering about Jesus, so we have some really good discussions.
      I've just been praying that I don't over look even the smallest opportunities that God so graciously gives to me, because really they are not small.
