A little piece of home

No, I'm not referring to the cheese pizza I had the other night (although it was quite good)...

I am talking about seeing Mike and Candace! How amazing is it that for the last 2 days of their mission trip to a village a couple hours away, they came to Siem Reap to begin their journey back home.  (You can check out their team's blog here: http://therainbowsquadron.blogspot.com/... they are doing incredible things!)  So, that's right... in their 'free time' yesterday afternoon, I met them at a great little coffee shop where Shirley and I had been working most of the day, and we wandered the streets of the city, talked, shopped, swapped stories, prayed, and lived out a pretty surreal moment of seeing each other in a very different part of the World.


I was so sad last night when I realized we didn't take a picture of our time together, not that we will EVER forget it, but it's almost so hard to believe we need proof for all of you back home. ;)


To Mike and Candace... 


Thanks for devoting your free time to hanging with me, even though I know you were exhausted and could have used a nap!  It was amazing having a connection to home and be able to share in person so many of our similar experiences. Love you both - travel safely back - and never enough ways to thank you for the big hugs and sweet prayer...they will see me through until I come home!  


Today Shirley and I will do the final handoff of information before she leaves for her month long trip to Vietnam tomorrow (after another cup of coffee that is). And I'm planning to get in some reading and sunning- along with planning my class lessons- before the big week ahead!
