Time is going fast

This has been a crazy busy week. Trying to finalize plans for the Young Ambassadors and pay attention to the 20 anniversary celebration. We are a little disappointed in the money that people are willing to donate to the benefit. Everyone warned us but we are always hopeful. The Nokor Tep hospital is such a worthy cause. There are still a few contacts out there that we hope will come through. Whatever happens with the money we know that we have helped Janne make some new contacts that will help with the continuing effort to raise money for the hospital. Now we really worry about ticket sales. The hall is big and we hope to fill it. 
This past weekend we went up to Siem Reap for a disaster relief project with the Kohls. There were 70 families that had their homes blow away in a big wind storm. It was good to be there to help strengthen the contact we had made before with the minister of religion for Siem Reap. When we were there in October he was not very friendly and he was really friendly and helpful this time. It was great to help the families and we feel, like we did our job by meeting with the minister again.  We think this will be a long term relationship now and that is good for the Church in Siem Reap. 
It is pretty hot now but everyone says that it is not as hot as last April. We count that as a blessing!
