I haven't done this in a while and I appoligize for that. But there hasn't been to many exciting things going on yet. I'm wraping up language study, tomorrow is my last day, and after a month; I know enough to get by. Today was my last day teaching English class at the dorm. It was a good experience. Probably one of the harder things I've ever done was try to work one-on-one with a student that doesn't speak English well...
I spent a few days up in a beautiful town of Seim Reip. It was much smaller than Phnom Penh. But there were much more tourists. From there I went up to Poi Pet to cross the border into Thailand. Only to turn around and come right back into Cambodia. I needed a new visa, and it was much easier to cross the border than to try and get my current one renewed.
Later this week things start to get a little crazy. The teams from the States and Canada will come starting Thursday; then Monday English Camp starts. From then on I will be busy the wole week teaching and helping students learn English. But more importantly I will be sharing the Love of Jesus with them.
Contuine to pray for me. Pray that He will provide me with energy and excitment throughout the Enghish Camps. Also pray that many students will turn to Him. Pray for my future after I get home as I'm still unsure what God has in store for me when I return home. Thank you for all your support and prayers! God Bless.

Update!
Hello once again from Cambodia! I've been in Cambodia for about a week now. And God has shown me so much. It feels really good to get out of the States and come here to see how God is working. Its a real nice change of pace from the busy life that I have back home. I have started studying the language here. They language isn't really all that hard. There are not different tones in the words.
I've signed up to run a 10k here in a few weeks with one of the guys in the dorm. So now I got to start running for real so I don't look like a foolish American. I have been staying at the dorm a lot with the guys this week. I got a good feel of what it is like to be a student here. Tomorrow I will be going to a Cambodian wedding, its an all day affair; it will really give me a great view of the culture.
I've gotten to meet several other international workers here. The Manfreds, are one of them. Now before I go any further I have to explain something. When came here I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue with my education major. Now with that said; the other day I was talking to Mrs Manfred, I was telling her about my indecision about my education. Without hesitation she said: "There are several international schools here that would hire a guy like you in a second."
Now less than ten minutes before I talked to her I was in having a language lesson. My teacher told me that she prays that I come back because I was picking up on the language really well. That same day another missionary said: "This country could really use some good Elementary school teachers." You think God might be trying to tell me something...? Pray that God will give me clarity and show me what it is He has planned for me.
