New-ness

We have begun a tradition on the weekends to venture out around town and try a new restaurant. We have gathered quite the following, and each Saturday we have a group of at least 9 of our closest friends from school. We always have a blast. Being "foreigners" here, of course the local people always want to tell us where the best places are to go. They usually recommend places with "Western Food" or modern conveniences....but we will go just about anywhere that the group agrees on. Here are some pics of things we've found as we have been out:



A HUGE bag of Starbucks beans- priced $25.00




A gorgeous view (looking out through the back of a Tuk-Tuk) of Independence Monument with the sun setting.



People LOVE to stare- Brian's remedy: As soon as they begin staring, get out your camera to capture the moment!


:: NEW HOUSE ::

As we posted a few days ago, we were really asking for prayer for our housing situation. Well, God provided in a MAJOR way. Within 24 hours of posting an ad (there is a web-based email group of foreigners in Phnom Penh) we had multiple responses of houses available in the area. We were actually able to go look at a place that next day, and we LOVE it. Through multiple ways and monetary blessings, God has provided for us to move into that new house. It is 100% better than our current home, and we know it will provide us with a safe and clean living environment. We are actually moving this Saturday, in 5 days, so keep us in prayer that the move goes swiftly and safely. We will post pics of the new house as soon as we can. THANK YOU for joining us in prayer for this matter, as Karie was NOT happy (or sleeping well) in their current house.
