What we're up to

It's been awhile since I've written about the day-to-day things we stay busy with here. This blog will be all about that. In our few free hours each day and weekend, we love to hop on a Tuk-Tuk and venture out to new places. Here are a few pictures from one of the more bearable markets-Russian Market. The best time to visit Russian Market is in the morning or late afternoon; otherwise, you will nearly die of heat exhaustion as there are NO vents or things to let the air through the place.

You want a banana? They have 11 varieties here!!

The beautiful colors of Cambodian silks

Oh the choices! DVDs, CDs, TV Series....all for about $2.00!!

This little beauty was strolling around in underwear, no shoes, and a half drunken glass bottle of Green Fanta. I wanted to swoop her up and take her home. . .what a precious babe.

...and it was! I had a cup to-go, about the size of a Starbucks Tall, and it was 3,000 riel ($0.75)

Other than visits to the local markets, we have enjoyed teaching at the school very much. We work here about 9 hours each week day and usually at least 6 hours one of the weekend days. It is our second home, and the kids here are amazing. What a true blessing we have to work with them as they grow up in the Lord. Below are some pics Karie snapped of her class in action on a normal Friday afternoon:

We will continue posting on the day-to-day occurrences as time permits!! We love you all and cannot WAIT to come home this summer.
