Clean at Last!

Our bags arrived from the United States last night and Matthew and Robert were actually able to get them for us. They spent the night in Phnom Penh and caught a taxi van down today with the bags. It will be nice to have a clean change of clothes and a shave tonight. It will also be good to hopefully get a full night sleep for the first time on the trip.

Today we were able to get two of the rooms painted at Heritage House. Maria picked out some nice colors for the rooms (she has a gift for it). Vutha headed back to Sihanoukville to pick up some more supplies and will be back tomorrow with another load for us to unpack.

The new house is great for the needs of the orphanage, but needs alot of TLC. Thankfully we have a great team with us here and everyone is eager to work. Tomorrow we will finish painting the children's rooms and continue to clean up the place.

Our new landlord is a recent widow and a serious Buddhist. She is mourning her husband and has shrines all over the place. Please pray for her families salvation. Tonight she, her sister and grandson sat in on our worship time. She sat as we prayed for her salvation and did not understand a word that we prayed. Thankfully, there is One who heard the prayer and loves her soul. It is our sincere desire to see Heritage House be a blessing in this woman's life and that our testimony would lead her to Christ.
