When Plans Change...

 "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." 

Our time in Cambodia has come to an end earlier than we first expected. Unfortunately, we got the wrong visa when we entered the country and to renew, we would have to leave the country and then come back in again. After much prayer, we decided it would be best to head back home. The last 4 weeks have been great, sometimes really challenging, at other times really fun and certainly rewarding. Now it is time to say goodbye to all our new friends and get back to Alberta. 

Sad to be leaving? yes.
Happy to be going home? yes
confused? YES 

To all our new friends in Cambodia, we will miss you! 
To our friends in Canada: see you soon!

A Picture Essay!


If a picture is worth a thousand words, this may be the longest essay I've ever written, enjoy!


Our new friend and fellow English teacher, Allyn. We've had some great times together!

Allyn, shocked by my chopstick skills!

The first recorder lesson. Outdoor classrooms are great!

Sometimes you don't need words, just a big smile!
