We slept on the floor in a house where rates were also
guests. We also had to use squatty pottyes and bucket showers.
Each day after breakfast we would play with the kids at the
local school before heading to different villages to talk to the familys about
God. Sometimes we helped farmers in the fields preparing the ground for the
vegetables.
After lunch we often did children's programmes where we
played games with them, sang songs, did dramas. We sometimes did more house
visits or we went to the orphanage where we spent some more time in the fields
before spending time with the kids.
On Sunday we were watching a movie about the Khmer Rouge
when we found out that a little girl aged about 8, was drowning in a pond. All
of us, including the villagers rushed over and tried to help the little girl.
We spent at least 10 mins looking for her. We were unsure what had happened to
her but as the water was very muddy and deep. Finally after a lot of praying
she was found, but it was too late. Us YWAMERS and the World Racers started
praying for a miracle. Unfortunatly the miracle we were praying for didnt
happen.
Sunday evening and Monday, however, we were invited to the
girls family's house to mourn with and pray for the family. Which was a miracle
as they were all Buddhists.
That was touch to deal with and to be apart of that,
especially as most of us believed that God would perform a miracle as there was
over 20 Christian missionaries in this one village. Even though he didnt
perform the miracle we thought he would he performed another miracle with the
open praying infront of these buddhists. We still know God is good and everything
happens in his timings.
At the moment we are having a couple of days off in Phenom
Penh before we fly to Malaysia on Monday for a night and then on Tuesday we fly
to the Philippines.
