Last Tuesday our neighborhood guard came to our door and asked me to move our car into our courtyard. So I did. Then a tent went up and the preparations began. It appears that our neighbors across the street were celebrating the end of rainy season which ends sometime in the next few week. On and off on Wednesday music played and monks chanted. They even had some traditional dancers. The funny part was the dancers came and danced before the guests arrived. In the evening the guests came and it was a calm dinner party that ended around 8:30 because of a downpour.

These particular neighbors appear to be well off. A few weeks ago they had over 30 young monks over and gave them all new rice buckets.

Please pray that we would find ways to interact with our neighbors. Unlike many neighbors, most people are our neighbor don’t come out of their houses that much. Nights are quiet, without a lot of people walking around. It’s been difficult to meet our neighbors. Please pray that God would open some doors for us. Pray that God would send a Khmer girl Becca’s age.
