Tuk-Tuk adventure

Life in Cambodia is crazy, loud, chaotic, hot, sunny, dusty, full of strange smells, and many children.
We have arrived to our new home.
I experienced culture shock and just recently have overcome it with prayer and worship.
I was bed-ridden ill for 2 days with a flu of some sort, followed by the rest of the our team. It was a great (or not) welcome to Battambang.
Praise the Lord that I am well and walking again.
We started a 2-week agriculture class with 2 Daves from New Zealand. It is our team and 4 Khmer ywam students. We are learning to identify the issues they face with farming here in Cambodia.
Our ministry is still being sorted, however we have got to work with a youth center and visit an NGO called Childrens Fund International. We may be helping to build a garden there.
There is also an Orphanage that 2 days a week we will spend there holding Bible Classes and having crafts with the little kids.
Yesterday I purchased a bike to use as transporation and it is a little intimidating riding on the streets. The other main way of transport for our team is by Tuk-Tuk ( a moto that pulls a covered carriage that sits 6 people or in our teams case 11 including the driver).
This land is full of adventure and things my eyes have never seen before.
I hope to bring more updates while we are here but in the meantime please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
