Life in Cambodia continues to go well, and I think the last month has been one of the best! Sorry for the silence in note/blog-writing for awhile, but I've been so busy there just hasn't been time!!!
Just to recap my life over the last few months:
School finished the first week of July and I started teaching English club classes and teaching 2 days a week at an oprhange run by a Christian NGO in my village. Teaching was great and I got to know a lot of my students much better! Teaching at the orphanage was great too because I got to teach some younger kids for the first time. Beginning at the ABCs was a big change!
This summer I also stayed busy working at the Angkro Hospital for Children in Siem Reap town. Because of a Dengue epidemic, the hospital was over crowded and the staff overworked. I had a great time playing with kids and helping take their mind off the pain for a little while.
The last week of August started my long anticipated vacation! Sophal and I traveled with a group of Peace Corps volunteers to Kuala Lumpuer, Malaysia and Sophal and I also made a side trip to Singapore. We had a great time...spent 2 days in the jungle, celebrated Malaysia's Independence Day, and checked out Singpaore for a day. It was a lot of fun to travel with my friends and just RELAX!
I am currently in Phnom Penh for 2 weeks (one week down) for the last of our PC training...after this we will have officially finished all of our training! :) It's been a lot of fun hanging out in the city with everyone. Last week was spent mostly catching up with everyone, buying pirated movies, and vegging! Yesterday we all split up and went on field trips. Me being the person that I am, chose the zoo (I was the only girl) and had a blast! Today we had a wonderful afternoon pool party and buffet dinner courtesy of many PC volunteers' parents that pitched in to give us an afternoon of fun! (THANKS!) This morning 2 of my friends and I attended a small Epsicopal church and had a great time going to and ENGLISH church service again. Tomorrow it's back to meetings. :(
September 4th marked 5 months of PC service for all of us and 7 months in country. Time is moving swiftly. Some days it feels like it's flying. Some days it feels like it's dragging. I have a feeling, however, that 2 years are going to be over in a flash! Continue to pray for all of us and send e-mails and/or letters. Even though life is good, encouragement and news from home is always appreciated and needed!!!!
All for now! Going to call it an early night! Love you and all and miss you!

Don't mind my crazy hubby. I have your email addy. I have no clue why he didn't ask me. =/ I'm glad to hear you are having fun. Hopefully soon a nice long email will be coming from me. Soon, for me, maybe a month or two. Work has been keeping me rather busy! Oh, by the way, I thought you would like to know, I will be talking about you soon in my classes. I figure I can tie in my friend who like to eat interesting things some how or another. Take care!
