We have moved apartments again! From our last post you will know that when we arrived back in Phnom Penh or driveway became an ocean. We decided that going through the puddle everyday was not worth the stress it created. Our friends Elaine and KT who are still in the States are allowing us to live in their homey apartment until they return on September 23rd. Elaine had to have surgery on her pancreas and her liver, I believe. She had a cyst that the doctors were worried about. After her surgery she found out that it was not cancerous, and that her pancreas is working just fine so there is no need for her to take insulin. Elaine's surgery was the reason that they did not get pack to PP at the beginning of the school year. They love the Lord and when we emailed them asking them if we could stay in their apartment they responded, " We have been praying that God would give us a way to serve Him even while we are still in the States so this is a blessing that we can serve Him by serving you in this way."
Unfortunatley that does mean we will be moving one more time at the end of September. Another co-worker is returning home to Canada on Sept. 23 and we will be moving in to her apartment when she has left! Please pray for us that we wouldn't be stressed with all of this moving and settling in over and over again.
We had to break the news to our landlords that we were moving and it was a bit hard. We did not know how that conversation would go. We told them that we love them. We appreciate everything they have done for us, but the flooded driveway is too stressful to deal with. They completely understood and said that they were worried for us. We know they are
understanding, but our relationship with them does not feel the same. Whenever we see them at school or if we have to run by and get some of our belongings we had left behind we do not get the same friendly and outgoing vibe from them. We are hoping that us moving did not hinder their view of Jesus. We hope that we can continue to build a relationship with them by inviting them to school events or out to eat. Please pray for our interactions with them. That we wouldn't read too much into their attitudes, but we would continue to be an example of Christ for them in whatever ways we can.
