Well....still no apartment but we've come to the decision that if God doesn't bring anything else in our direction by Wednesday...then we will take the "green" apartment. Its one we looked at a couple weeks ago and really liked but thought was too expensive. We were hoping the landlord would go down to $220 but he won't budge so we'll have to take it at $250 or remain homeless!
It will work out nicely because we have a 6 day holiday coming up this week starting Thursday so it'll give us time to move and settle in. I'm so excited to go shopping and buy stuff for the apartment!! I'll put up some pics when we get settled in.

Last night the youth/young adults at church had a mask party. Everyone looked so good all dressed up and fancy. Cambodian girls LOVE to dress up because it gives them an excuse to wear lots of makeup, put way too much hairspray in their hair and wear SUPER fancy colorful dresses. They all looked so beautiful last night:) I headed home early...once the Khmer dancing started....hehehehe.
Going to church at ICA this morning with Marie Ens then out to lunch with her and some of the Place of Rescue board members from Canada. Haven't seen her since I've been back so it'll be great to catch up with her:)

The expat women that work with New Life have started up a small group. I am sharing tomorrow night with them (and baking brownies to bring...Rhi said that if there was gonna be tears there had to be chocolate:)...I'm excited to share a bit of my life with these women. I am so thankful that God has brought them into my life.....life in Cambodia demands that you have good friends around you. Life is too hard to do by yourself. Its all about community here...something that I greatly admire about Cambodian society. Everyone is in life together. No one gets left behind. You eat, sleep, work and play together. Life happens out on the streets...not closed off behind doors. Personal space and privacy are out the window here.....ok so maybe not EVERYTHING about community is great:)
