Hello friends and family! August is nearly over and September is almost upon us. Our departure for America is very soon. Our family is enjoying the last days living here in Cambodia. We are spending a lot of quality time with our friends as well as finishing up our work here at ICF. This is a very bittersweet experience for us. We are grateful for Gods mighty hand, we know He is faithful and He will not leave us no matter where we serve Him in this world.
Lots of last meetings and organizing for the ones who will take our place.
Waiting on our green tea order.
Our dear friends and fellow missionaries from the Congo came to visit our family this month. We have known Papy and Nasta since we met them in Phnom Penh five years ago. They are a blessing to our family.
Enjoying Khmer food along the river and taking a stroll through Pub street
They came to serve with us at Church on Sunday which was very kind of them.
Early morning meetings with co workers and friends. It has been so fun to have an espresso machine in the office. Everyone enjoys making coffees for each other
We bought this giant painting, or rather we met with a painter and had him paint a giant picture of Cambodia for us. Before we rolled it up to go in the suitcase we signed the back and enjoyed writing some memories we could think of. We will enjoy having this framed in America and hung in our home to remember this beautiful chapter in our life.
Its been fun to have the older three kids join us in the gym this month.
