From Cambodia!

I can't believe that I am sitting in a coffee shop in Cambodia typing this, isn't that crazy??

So much has gone on during the past 2 and a half weeks since the team and I got here that I don't know where to begin....

Arrival was a bit rough since one of the boys on my team lost his passport en route from America to Taiwan.  Talk about being thrown in the deep end, no small introduction to leading overseas here!!

God's grace has been THE thing that keeps me going thus far.....

I have been homesick.  I never really understood that word before, I always kind of thought that people just used it to mean that they really missed people.  Now, I think I understand it a bit more.  I've never left a place and missed the people there...until now.  It was not easy especially for a few days last week.

I'm so busy thinking about the team that I find it hard to focus on what's going in me.  Once a week I let myself stop being a leader (when I say once a week I mean for about 3 hours) and attempt to process some of my own stuff.

The team leaves in a week and a half and so now I'm attempting to begin to transition them into the leaving stage but it is really hard since I don't even want to think about them leaving....

I need sustained energy, I need to be able to process everything that's changed since I LIVE here now....I still need His grace.....

Thank you all for your prayers and love, I'll write soon (should be getting Internet at my apartment so that will help with communicating....I hope....)
