Yesterday, we finished the second english camp and celebrated with a night out at a nice restaurant. Rick completed some lab work, while Christie and I wrapped up the computer teaching. This morning we all said our good-byes and headed back to the border where we begin to go our separate ways. Nichole is headed to the Bankok airport. From there, she'll fly to Laos where she'll meet up with friends. Karl, Martha, Greg and Marti are headed to Penom Phen. Rick, Christie, Ron, Maureen and I are headed to Bankok to catch a late flight and begin our long trip back to the states. We left with mixed emotions as we're going to miss the people that we've developed new relationships with. At the same time I'm eager to get back home to family. As we crossed the boarder and the van pulled away, many memories of the past week came flooding back. What an experience. Please pray for the logistics and safety of our continued travel.
Oh if one could just invent that "time travel" machine and it would take only minutes to return home! I'm sure, as you said, there were mixed feelings of leaving your new found mission, but return you must! Know that what you have done in Christ's name will have more impact than you realize and for years to come! Stay safe, rest easy, until we see you soon!
