Tell us about your recent motorbike trip with your Dad. We drove 710 km (426 mi) in five days. I got to sit on a special front seat Dad put on for me. We visited Kuy villages and missionaries. I got to sleep out one night in a hammock with a mosquito net in the village. I really liked riding over rough dirt roads on the motor bike. I learned how to make a spit wad shooter out of bamboo from some other missionary kids in one village and found friends from Phnom Penh in the provincial town.
Please pray for our children to love the Lord, continue to be flexible and adaptable, enjoy other cultures and learn to speak Khmer.
