It would take me forever for me to put into words everything that’s gone on in this last month (and let’s face it, it probably wouldn’t actually happen) so, here’s just a portion of what we’ve been up to on our side of the world recently:
Starting December 27th we loved…
Picking up our moms from the airport
Taking them to all our favorite places in Phnom Penh
Mother/ daughter lunches, coffee dates, pedicures, …
Picking up the rest of the BPF team from the airport
Catching up on life over coffee instead of over the internet
All of our kids having someone to play with or hug at the same time
Getting 20 water filters from RDI and bringing them to HCO
Looking around & seeing kids read their Bibles (Christmas present this year)
Our kids singing, “The Stars at Night…” & a few other songs we taught them for the team
Hearing stories about what God was doing in people’s lives during the time they spent here
Knowing people we love, love our kids (almost) as much as we do
Then, on January 7th we dropped our moms and (most of) the team off at the airport… just for the record, it was a lot more fun picking them up. However, it’s been nice settling back into ‘real life’, right now which consists of…
Hanging out with 66 of the coolest kids ever
Teaching phonics & making up ridiculous hand motions to songs our kids are learning
Teaching the kids how to wash their hands… more fun than you might think
Processing water filters (clean water coming very soon!)
Catching back up with our friends here
We had such an amazing time with everyone who came! We can’t say thank you enough for everything that was done for us and our kids, we really enjoyed having you all here!!
