Well, I’m here

Finally. After months of impatience, eagerness and a little bit of FOMO, I am here. Well, kind of. Presently, I am writing from the small yet comfortable church where my team sleeps at the orphanage. 13 sweaty people sleeping in one room brings many challenges, but I’d say it brings more blessings.

  After quite a long few days of travel, we are excited to announce the majority of both teams have made it safely to their ministry sites in Cambodia!   They will be spending the next few days being immersed in the culture, receiving a ministry briefing from their hosts, tasting the local cuisine, and combating that crazy jet-lag.  Isabel and Adam, with their leaders (Luke and Emma), will be leaving Malaysia to join the rest of the team/leaders tomorrow!
