Found an old driver from years ago. He asked me how my “cancer” was. I said, “Thank you for asking, but it was a kidney problem, not cancer.” I was so amazed he remembered after four years that I had a health issue.     (photo: Chantha)

  1. The world grows smaller with each one of your posts. I love to travel and explore the world. Your photos are providing a mini trip.
    Continuing to pray for you safety and travel mercies, especially as you go about the Lord’s calling and work in your life.

  2. Western influence is making its way to Cambodia. I wonder if all of the fast food restaurants that we are familiar with, serve the same kind of food that we enjoy here in the states.  Great pictures if life in Cambodia.
