Turn and Look at my Creation

Travel day to the next part of our journey was interesting. We traveled in two trucks. One with our stuff and half of the team and one with food and live chickens and the other half of the team. It took almost all day to get to the next place. What in the world to do on this journey than look at His beauty?! The trees, the mountains, the sky, the people of each passing village, the animals and the flowers! I say all of that because I want you to know that I saw many things. Things that I can’t describe! But the one thing I want to describe is the flowers! I can’t even begin to...

The game of volleyball! ??

  Being in India for about two weeks I’ve come to enjoy the game of volleyball . The team and I go every day to the hostel and play with the college students! They are mainly guys and our team is mainly girls, so playing together is quite hilarious/difficult to watch. The Indian guys will split up and the American girls will also pick a side, then we will play about 6 games. Learning to play with everyone and the skills that are available was difficult. The guys had to play at the girls level and it got frustrating at times but they kept playing! And then the girls had to get...

Strangers in the House…

We are in the “Hills” of Manipur… ( the mountains ) and I want to point out that the schools are wonderful! In their own kind of beautifulness. The school that we are staying at has prep kindergarten- tenth grade. And only one class per grade! It’s completely amazing to witness. The upper classes have a range of students from 30-50, and they don’t change rooms!!!! Because this school started with a prep class the kids in the village can go here. They don’t have to move away to go to a particular grade. By saying this, when they get to the 10th grade they...

Leaving My Heart Behind

I have been across the world, away from all I have ever known, for six weeks now. I never gave much thought to Cambodia; why would I when my life is so fast-forward? But this month it all slowed down. I immersed myself in the Asian culture and became accustomed to the simple life. I don’t mean the simple life like having a white picket fence, a nine to five job, and a loving husband to come home to at night and binge watch One Tree Hill with. (which is all SO great! Especially One Tree Hill.) I mean the simple life as in waking up every morning to the monks and roosters, showering...
