Working Hard and Learning in Cambodia

My second week went super great! I am starting to understand people more and more now. I can kind of follow the conversations now. I had to give a talk in church on Sunday.  A real talk.  I think it was a good 7-10 minute talk too!  I could tell when I said a word wrong because a few people would laugh. That is just the culture here, but I am learning!  I haven't gotten discouraged or anything because I know that one day I will be able to speak the language as long as I try hard to learn it.

There's no down time. We wake up at 5:30, exercise, eat breakfast, get ready for the day, iron shirt or what not, start studies at 7 til 10, leave the house, come back around noon for lunch, go out again, get back at 8, plan, eat, get ready for bed and write in my journal, and off to bed!

Ha ha, we walked around the market some more today... Pig heads on the table, the whole legs, chickens that have only been plucked, and fish flopping around because they won't kill animals.

I think that there are just about as many bugs inside my house here as there are on the outside of our house in West Valley. Lol. We have killed a lot of ants.

I don't know if the demons are poisonous, and I really don't want to! ha ha! They are a little bit hairy. They are FAST. I mean fast. You cannot hit one on the first try. Sometimes we will take a lighter and the aerosol can of bug spray to them... :)  They are completely disintegrated after being hit with it.

I don't believe that any house out here in Kampong Cham has an address! LOL! It makes it really hard to get to new people's houses.

Ok, this is a picture with 3 of our investigators in it. The older man in with the orange collar is Sok Jia. His son is on the far left with the silver shirt and BOM on his lap. His name is Yiang. And the boy in the yellow shirt is Hong. He is a neighbor.  There are 2 families. Sok Jia has 3 sons, and 2 of them are baptized (just earlier this year),  him and his other son is not. I don't know what has happened to their mom.  The other family are all members.
