I'm going to talk about this more in my next update but these are pics of about 2 acres of houses that burned down and where the people are living now. its an extremely sad story of the corruption in cambodia. the next pic is of the internet phone booth where i make my calls.





so i buy a net and a basketball to shoot some hoops. then a couple weeks later i find these huge mounds of dirt blocking my hoop. doesnt anyone know how hard that makes it to play. next is a pic of the computer classroom. i dont know who but someone put a game on one of those computers...hehe. next is a pic of a really handsome man. i saw him and i hope he didnt mind but i had to take his picture. the next two pics were taken at the royal palace during the khemi new year last weekend.





a couple pics of my room... yes living in a mud hut is so tough...and we have a pic of my kitchen. the pic of the stacked food is the only way to keep the ants away from my food. first you take a bucket and then put water in it and then something in the water, then stack. since ants can't swim my food stays safe. the other pic is of the gate. this gate goes all the way around the property and its huge. almost all houses in cambodia have some kind of big gate around them. many people hate christians and would like nothing more then to steal from them. every once in a while someone is outside when they are mad they will throw a big rock at the gate because they know they wont get in trouble.





these are some pics that were taken at a the waterpark. the one of the guys back is a bad pic because it is hard to take a pic with one and and push someone in the pool with the other hand....hehe. the one with the two girls, they are maria and kim and they do the house work. maria makes dinner for me and i must say it is amazing.





these are pics of a game we were playing. "khemi uno" when someone lost they had to do a silly khemi dance and then wear the crown. there is also a picture of some of the construction that is going on right now. pastor keat is adding a 3rd and 4th floor to his school and church.

so the picture of me on the deer was taken at the beach
during debrief week. the pic with me and the guy holding
the sign was taken right when i arrived into Cambodia
he was there to pick up a mr jeff, and we both thought
that was me until he gave me a key to where i was
staying. then we found out he was there for a different
missionary white man named jeff. what are the odds?
the next 2 are pics of my surprise birthday party
that Sally through for me.





so the pic of the big green fruit is something that i really
enjoy in cambodia its called jack fruit. when you peel
it its yellow inside. the outside texture is prickly and rough
but the inside is like the texture of rubber. the fruit is very sweet
it tastes kind of like a sweet banana. the other pics are just me
having some fun with the camera. its what the scenery looks
like here.





these pictures where taken at a english camp
that we helped out at just before leaving cambodia.
i was teaching the kids important star trek signs as
you can see. of course i only teach things that are
absolutely necessary to learn for communication.
