a few days and a few bumps

with some sore throats and a couple upset stomachs, we're all preparing (in various ways) for our last few days working with the Daughters Center. we have one more day of classes tomorrow morning and then the performances are tomorrow afternoon at 2! :) we are so proud of our students... the joy these girls get from having even the slightest bit of teaching and fun is remarkably humbling, and i think we can each say that they have taught us more about hope and joy than we expected them to carry. please pray for our day tomorrow. as the week winds down, and we hear more and more "we miss you when you leave"s, it will be hard to find peace of mind and peace of body. some of us are trying to push through our annoying stuffy noses and headaches--which make us more emotional, somewhat discouraged, and all-in-all like the "full-potential" of our trip is not being met in the last stretch of a week's time. we want to "finish strong" of course, and those of us who want to feel like we're DOing something helpful with the little time we have left might be frustrated. please pray against satan's attacks in these ways. we figure, since he hasn't had much success in bringing us down in other areas, he's now trying to sneak in some words of doubt and hopelessness last minute. BUT, we are praying, we are believing, we are professing our faith to the very air in our flat... and we are drawing upon God's strength to help us hope even in a worn-out state. please pray for healing--the smallest of healings will do--i would love to be able to sing with my music students tomorrow. "Oh Lord, You're Beautiful" sounds a hundred times better in Khmai, so it is a blessing for me to be able to join in as well.

but i'm sure either way, i will be telling God how beautiful i think He is in that moment. whether my throat feels better or not.



four more days in Cambodia...

we miss you all!

love,
