 I can't believe that it has been 2 weeks since I wrote!!!  Where does the time go.  Actually, since we have been back from the US, we have been very busy.  As you know from the last blog, we had a graduation the day after I got back.  Sierra and Asia, my brother Troy's girls, came back with me so we have been showing them around.  They are teaching at the BEST Center in a program that Julie, my sister runs.  For those of you who don't know, she runs a program that teaches English using the Bible.

Our other graduate was Golap, one of our girls.  She is from Siem Reap and came to our school as she was being persecuted by her family for being a Christian.  Her plan now is to remain at the school and serve as a mentor to our girls.  She will also work with Sharon Welch and the Snack program, taking food to children in villages and teaching nutrition.  I will also be going over the book of Romans with her again as she didn't do quite well enough.  She has a sweet spirit and we are thrilled to be a part of both her life and Borei's.  They are s
