I'm coming home!




After 2 years of serving the Lord in Cambodia I am coming home for a short break!!!
On June 22nd I fly out of Bangkok and amazingly enough, thanks to the time change, I arrive in Vancouver BC the same day.
I am excited to see many of you and get caught up with all that has happened over the past 2 years!
I will be home all summer and then will be coming back to Cambodia at the end of August.

Some other big news that I want to share with you is that I just bought a TRUCK for the Ministry!!
I made 3 trips to Phnom Phen in the last few weeks to check out trucks and on this last trip, just two days ago, finally was able to purchase a 1997 Toyota Tacoma, 4x4. It's sweet and I got it for a pretty good deal, praise God! So that is a real blessing and it will be a big help to the ministry.

I also just recently got over a bout with Typhoid Fever that has left me pretty thin. I picked up someting in Phnom Phen a week and a half ago and right away felt awful. My fever was around 104 for a week and I had some nasty headaches and muscle pains. After 4 days I got to the Drs. and he put me on an IV drip for 3 days straight and gave me some medicine.
I sweated it out in this little clinic but after being on the IV drip I felt a lot better and now am pretty much back to normal!

We also just had a Womens Conf. at our church that saw 30 women come the first day and 40 women the second day. Many of them stayed at our church overnight and had a great time of fellowship and growing in their faith together.

God is so good and yeah can't wait to see many of you real soon!
Blessings
