God is good despite us! Woke up super early today -3 am. Don't know why but couldn't sleep. My sister and I had gone to sleep saying if we wake up early then we can do something before she leaves. She woke up at 5 so we rushed and got out of the door by 9 and went shopping. :) I kept telling her given the election there will be parades of supporters and we will get stuck but I think until you have gotten stuck in traffic (when obama came I got stuff in traffic for 2 hours - total standstill). So she wanted to get to the airport left and kept shopping till as late as she had wanted to hehe and then we got on the tuktuk and we got stuck! but luckily we still got to the airport 1 hour before and were able to get her checked in and onboard. The great thing about Cambodia is they let you in and so I was able to know she was checked in. From there to get the car washed and then the first buyer came. He isn't sure but hopefully!!!! pray about it. I don't want to hold onto this car any longer! My second buyer is mad at me because I won't meet him where he wants, but I just can't drive in so much traffic, i am out of practice :) So lets see. I hear back soon from the first one.
I thought I would have time to rest after my sister left and meet people and pursue my ideas but things are piling up so fast, I feel like I am going faster than before, but everything is just falling into place. I stayed at the cafe where the center is thinking the 2nd buyer would come today but because of that Michael and I were able to discuss ideas that have been brewing in my head and his and it's great. We are on the same page and I think even without being here, I can help him with the english classes. I am going to do teaching videos! and there are new posters that I have been thinking of making and he was saying the same thing. So I have spent the afternoon taking all the pictures I need for the first set of videos for total newbys.
The center is in a cafe that reaches out to medical students and I had been talking to my students about them learning from this group and so I was able to connect with the right person to hopefully make this happen and maybe even get a doctor to help with the medical camps! So yay again! I love how God connects and just makes everything fall into place. When I first got here I wasn't sure how I could show cambodia to my sister and do all my work, but it's all working out and I am doing in just a few days what I thought would take the whole time and maybe I would still need more time! Amazing how God works! Give and it shall be give, pressed down, shaken together and running over! :)
I am so happy to be here and reconnecting with everyone from last year whether they are acquaintances or friends and i just love how even short term friendships can be so strong and lasting! I didn't realize how much family I have in cambodia! YAY! I am so blessed!
