Our Guest

What do people do when they come here?
They take time to look over all that we do, try and fit in and apply their strengths to the tasks they feel lead to or are asked to do.
Sometimes stretching themselves sometimes humbling themselves.   Over all submitting to God's will in their life for the period time they are here.

Each person brings something different.  Each guest makes their mark on someones heart here and inevitably and mark is left on theirs.

Each guest time here is invaluable to the people they have worked with.  A time that both people will remember for ever.

Here are some older photos I missed, back in September Grace and a couple ladies from New Zealand did some lice clinics and one of our Girls houses.  They washed maybe 30 peoples hair for about 4 hours.
I though the best part was just the service to the people, it was intimate and personal.  I don't think ever in their wildest dreams would they have thought to have a group of white ladies washing their hair.  It was hard work but I think the guest enjoyed it s much as the people.

 Rachana's grandmother

 Rachana helped rinse them off.

She was so cute, a bit naughty but cute

 All the kids had a mass amount of lice in their hair.  They would come in with all scraggly, knotty dirty hair and they left beautiful little ladies.  

 Sarah came to us at the end of September.  She is an American who has been living in Germany the last 9 years.  She has been teaching English, Violin, and helping the kid with their math classes.
She has also been helping teach English at the high school.

 Alicia has come to us from Hawaii.  She has has her masters in eduction and has been helping teach Sam, English and helping the children with teaching Sunday school classes.  Alicia has completely fallen in love with the kids and is having a hard time imagining having to leave.  

 Neal, the white guy in the back :) with his wife Rachel has just arrived from Philadelphia.  Neal has been helping around the property and been trying to excite the children about gardening.  He is also helping teach at a few of my father in-law's churches.

His wife Rachel loves children and is currently a nanny, she is helping teach the smaller kids English and helping us watch Joe for an hour or so, giving us a much need break during the day.  She might possibly be teaching a parenting class while she is here.   

 Sam is really helpful when he comes with us.  The kids absolutely love that he speaks Khmer

  Nop always there to steal a photo.  Sarah wanted proof she was helping with the yard work when Nop steps in with his 10 inch earth worm he just found.

Our children have been getting more involved in ministry.  Wut and Young have taken really big roles in helping with children churches.  The other month Wut said I want to learn more English and like over night she has been speaking like crazy.  She has even translated for Alicia the other day.

We are really very proud of her.

 Finally after 4 year some one used our flip books.  Alicia taught on Daniel this week.

 Alicia brought some puppets with her that were a big hit.

 Kind of like Marco Polo with out the pool.

 Jump rope

 Singing and dancing.

 This little girl stuck out.  It's the only Afro we've seen on a Cambodian, she gets teased a lot at school but we thought she was just so beautiful. 

 Neal and Rachel and Sarah have links to their blogs on the right hand side of the page.
