Quick Update

I’ve been in Cambodia now for five days.  I spent the first day in Phnom Penh, and since then have been in Sihanoukville, a coastal, resort area.  It’s been very good to get a rest and seek the Lord as to the next steps.

There are several possibilities concerning what the next steps might be.  I feel it best at the moment to remain kind of vague about it, though.

This has been a very interesting place, so far.  The mixture of people who are here is quite amazing, from all over the world, and the locals on the beach are quite enterprising, to say the least.

A few days ago, I ordered an egg and bacon sandwich for $2.50, and it arrived with no bread.  I asked for bread and they brought it, but I found out later that it was an additional 50 cents. I guess it was an egg sandwich, “Hold the bread!”

A young seller, about 12 years old, approached me trying to sell me a bracelet.  I turned him down, and he asked if we could play a game.  I said, “OK”, offered him a seat, and asked what we were going to play.  He said we’d play tic-tac-toe, and, if I lost, I’d buy a bracelet; if he lost, He’d give me one.

I laughed, and declined again, to which he replied, “You scared?”  I said I was, laughing some more.  Great entertainment.

I found out today that a Spanish omelet has nothing in it… just eggs.  I always thought they had peppers, meat and other stuff, but learned today I had always been wrong.  It must simply be eggs from Spain.

Some kids, a boy and girl, about eight or nine years old, tried to sell me some trinkets, and I said I didn’t have money for that stuff.  The boy said, “No money… no honey,” a term used in the prostitution trade, I believe.  Another big laugh.

Please keep things in prayer as I seek to get into the center of the Lord’s will for my being here.  I hope I can get back to making regular posts soon and being more able to be open about things.
