Back in Koh Kong

God has brought us safely to Cambodia again. My sister Sue and I arrived about midnight on May 8. It was delightful to see Hubert at the Phnom Penh airport to meet us. Our baggage all arrived fine with us. The following day was a holiday, so that delayed the processing of our passports to get one year Cambodian visas. We picked the visas up on Friday afternoon the 11th. During the three days in the capital we did shopping, visited two of the Koh Kong Christians studying in Phnom Penh, and bought medicines and medical supplies for the medical team coming soon.
The bus down to Koh Kong leaves Phnom Penh twice a day and the Saturday morning one was booked full two days ahead. So we got tickets for the Saturday noon bus. It turned out that they ran a 19 passenger bus that run instead of the big bus, so we could not fit all our baggage on. God worked things out that half came with us stacked on the back seat beside us, and the rest came on the following morning bus.
Hubert had prepared the house well in his three weeks arrival ahead of us. But there is still more to unpack and find places for. We are trying to adjust to the heat again. Sunday we had great fellowship with Koh Kong Baptist Church. God has been blessing them and they are standing strong for the Lord. They are happy to have us back to teach the Word of God. Please pray as we prepare lessons.
I have been called on to do several medical consults already. Please pray for R., a 6 six year old boy with a fractured elbow. Pray for good healing for him.
This week is a three day celebration of the king’s birthday, so I cannot go yet to the provincial health office to discuss which towns we will hold mobile clinics at. Pray that it will happen soon and that God will help the towns to be prepared for our coming. The team arrives here in Koh Kong on May 28. Thank you for praying and watching God work.
