The children here are incredible. They are SO cute. I really want to take a Khmer child back with me… roommates, we could fit a small child in our house, yeah? There is this one little boy who is fascinated with my leg hair. Obviously, I don’t shave every day, so I have little prickles. And the kids are so amused by it. The one boy literally just rubs my leg, looks at me, smiles, and then tells is friend to feel it. Bahahaha.
Yesterday, during play time at the pre-school, one of the little girls was nursing a bear. She literally was lifting up her shirt and nursing it. After the bear was fed, she and the bear took a nap... she first made sure the bear was perfectly comfortable, giving it a pillow of other stuffed animals. It was so cute!
I am really loving me time here. The people I work with are great and the Vietnamese and Khmer people are wonderful as well. I would love to come back and continue to do this type of work. I love engaging with the different people and seeing God’s heart for the world. He made every person and every culture so unique. Of course, there are aspects of the world that are broken, but how exciting that God wants to use us to help heal, restore, and rebuild the world.
Well, I will put up some pictures soon. Hopefully. Probably.
GOODBYE!
we have room for the small child.
