12 Years in Cambodia

Last week we celebrated 12 years in Cambodia. We celebrated a day early, since the next evening was our Khmer service. I made chicken cordon bleu, and we had salad. Then in the evening we had popcorn and played a game together. It was a fun time. We are thankful for God’s care, direction, and love for us as we’ve lived and served in Cambodia these past 12 years. Our family has grown, and we’re all grown in maturity and in loving God and others.

Sadly, during the late afternoon, I started not feeling well. We suspect I either had dengue or chikungunya. I’m recovering, but it’s slow going!

18 Years of Bliss

Sunday we celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. Sundays are usually very full days for us, but my reading ladies canceled, so we had some extra time together. We played two games (both I’d not had a chance to play yet and one Josh hadn’t played yet), and we made and wrote our anniversary cards to each other. We bought beef for dinner for everyone for a family supper.

Thankful for the marriage and friendship God has given us. Thankful that we have each other “till death.”
