God is good! His love never fails and I love how He
reinforces stuff. So just yesterday I was having a conversation with Una saying
one of the things I am looking forward to after I move back to the states is
time. I feel like I am walking on this tight rope where anything can tip me
over and I see myself being shorter than I would like with people, there are 100
things that dont get done in a day and there is rarely time to relax. And today
the sermon was on just that. :) how much we fall
short and yet how God is there.
Yesterday we were supposed to go to koh kong. A break
for Michael and me and a nice trip for Una. But there was a storm so we
cancelled the trip. The day ended up being interesting because we were all
ready by 6:30, but had nothing to do. So we went to see if we could change our
trip. When that didnt work we decided to have fun. So since everything but the
market was closed we went there looking for friendship bracelet string that
Michael wanted and we ended up doing some much needed work. Just last week I
was thinking about posters and the need for them. I am a fair artists and so
have drawn stuff on our white board and kept it there but I need the space and
there wont last. So I was thinking of drawing posters but wanted a real poster
in khmer/English. Well, erroneous directions led us to a poster place! So now
what I wanted and more! We even found books with khmer/ English. So it was
great. Michael found his string. Una got some cheap shoes and off we were to
the movie theater. Apparently if you go early the movies are only 3 dollars for
3D movies. Asian movie theaters are just like American and the popcorn is
cheaper and better! So we saw Paranorman. Interesting and cute movie. Much
better than Brave in my opinion. Bought some dvds for a dollar, shopped, ate
and finally couldnt stay in the mall any longer and so drove home in the pouring
down rain! Soaked all the way but another adventure for Una. :)
Came home and set up the projector and watched Dark
Shadows. Very disappointing movie in my opinion. Very similar to Paranorman
but that was much better than this movie. It was neither funny nor scary, just
stale, boring and predictable. Then we went to get our nails done and I met
someone I havent talked to since Jan/Feb and then we watched Bourne Legacy. I
fell asleep but it was still fun a fun day with no work and dedicated to fun
without any feelings of guilt J Praise God for
cancelled trips. Had to make it up to Una so I got blessed in the process!
Today has been lazy. Got up and went to church.
Picked up a stray on the way back J Hes the kid I
treated for a wart a few weeks back. Been wondering how he is doing since he
never came back and he showed me his hand. It was wart free! Loved it!
Its three and we are waiting for it to get later so
Una can talk to her parents and I can get my nails redone cause it all got
ruined as I slept J
I put the new posters up and they look soooo good!
I think will do a little more work! J
I just got emailed some work to look at and sent some emails to arrange meetings
to figure out more stuff for the center before I leave. Tried to even schedule
work with the medical students but praise God that didnt happen! So still get to
really enjoy a leisurely weekend before the busy week starts again! Training on
Monday!!!
Friday was great in class. I was super tired so
Michael taught choking. Then he left and instead of cleaning I asked if they
would mind 30 minutes of English and everyone was happy. They have become avid
readers and it was great. B has become so good and R is passing up all the boys.
Im super excited! With the better students and Una helping me, everyone had a
book read within 15 minutes and we were able to review all of last week in the
rest of the 15.
Chores were great. Everyone really put their heart
into them. I enjoyed watching and helping them and as happy as I was to have
the center bathroom cleaned by them. Hehe! I cant do it. I clean the dirty
stuff and have them clean the mirror and sink J
But I guess when I leave they will have to J C had
to do the glasses and he was like, I have never done this before, so I showed
him and una helped him and he and Una learned words as they worked. R2 didnt
come so I gave R1 his chores and I thought he would be upset but he did more
than I even wanted him too. R of course was great and so was B in doing all
they needed to do. The girls got to leave early and it was good cause the first
time when they all volunteered the guys got to leave way before the girls. Now
we rotate chores so everyone gets to work hard some days J
