Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadians back in Canada. We are once again hosting the Canadian Thanksgiving for all of our Canadian friends over here in Cambodia. I am not sure what the numbers will be but I am sure it will be between 30 to 40 people.

No luck finding a turkey (thanks for the hint David Ens but to no avail), so we will endure with some chickens. Suzanne Johnson, a Canadian and a new teacher at Logos, suggested a goose? Not sure that is going to happen but it could get interesting? Actually it will be lots of fun getting together with all those displaced Canadians and singing the Canadian anthem and of course being thankful for all that we have. Part of the guest list includes, Marie Ens along with the Lobozos (spelling?) among the many. Ange Booy, MEI teacher, and another Canadian girl from YWAM are also part of the VIP Canadian list.

From the school side, we just had a chance to send a Logos school team over to Poipet to spend time with Joel Reimer. Joel was awesome and really did a wonderful job hosting our group of 19 students and three teachers. The students prayed for the sick, preached, played, and sang for many groups over in Poipet. I was scheduled to go on the trip but I really did want some of the teachers at the school to have an opportunity to go up there and see what that part of Cambodia is all about. Was really excited to hear some of the stories from those three teachers that went. Poipet is about an 8 hour bus ride from us here in Phnom Penh. I also invited Joel for Thanksgiving but he is way up there so... we will hope he has a blessed one up there in Poipet.

Coaching the high school boys volleyball team at Logos. A number of the boys from "the boys house", the orphanage with Asian Hope, are on the team. It has been a real change of pace. We are going to take the team to the dirt courts on the streets next week to play against the Cambodian men. Should be fun and crazy at the same time. We will be required to pay 1000R each person to play. This works out to about $.25/person/game. Cheap entertainment if you ask me but big bucks for some of the men we are playing against. The boys are excited. We will leave after school on Wednesday and play if it doesn't flood the court or if it gets too dark.

Anyways got to go for now,
