This week we had a visit from the Yamada family. It’s been on their bucket-list for their time in Japan to pop over here for a visit. It was our first time to be with them since they had kids, and everyone enjoyed the visit. Josh took Richard to visit two rural Jarai villages on Friday, and all the boys took an outing to Ban Lung on Monday, while the girls stayed home since Anna wasn’t feeling well.

The boys enjoyed having playmates and kept busy playing outside most of the time, from early morning until supper time. Richard gave Isaiah daily trumpet lessons and enjoyed practicing the trumpet on our back porch. Richard also enjoyed having “Max” the lion visit Cambodia and talk with the kids.

It was great to catch up with Rebekah – we haven’t seen each other since summer 2019. The Yamadas left early Tuesday morning to take a van to Siem Reap to continue their visit to Cambodia, and we started back to school that same morning. It’s been a good Christmas break, and everyone did wonderful starting back!
