Hello everyone,
What an exhausting day this was as we traveled six hours on the road from Phnom Penh to Battambang. The tean is beyond fatigued now and a couple of us are overwhelmed with the shock of a new culture, language, the heat, the new foods and a pace that is radically different from even the most hectic pace back home.
It's late at night here and I have a lot to share; however, I will let Matt Yoder, "Mutt" or "Master Yoda" share his thoughts for today. I was supposed to put a picture and a bio with this blog entry,but due to last minute repacking (due to RAD's being unable to come), I have yet to locate the flash card where these files are. Matt is a returnee to South East Asia He was here with our team last summer and all the kids now recognize him, as it was proved today. We can't begin to tell yo how happy the children were to see us. There are many pictures and stories, but for now let;s hear what "Master Yoda" has to tell us from the height of his second journey to Cambodia:

- "Well folks, we made it to Cambodia. For some the trip seemed longer than others but we are all happy to be back on the ground. The first day in Cambodia went too fast. Poor Holly was a bit overwhelmed by the food and got sick, but was feeling better after we got underway to Battambang. It was great to see the kids again. They were all excited to see us. After visiting with the kids, we met Kevin and Jill Kane and Grace Place Cambodia leadership at a restaurant called The White Rose for supper. Thank you everyone for your prayers and responses on the blog. "

To pay homage to Master Yoda:
"Around the team members a prayer perimeter create"

Steady, steady, one day at a time. Just try and keep PACE:
Prayer
Availability to the Holy Spirit
Communication with each other and your leader, and finally my favorite...
Encourage as you go, especially your team mates.
Maybe tonight you could all close out your night with making up a song that goes with the letters, R-I-C-E, or at least Harlene could write a poem or something:)
You never alone in this journey. . .
Glad to hear from you Matt.
We have been praying for all of the team. Good to hear the flight over was smooth! God Bless all of you as you work with the kids.
