Mission trips

Sorry i cant upload pictures... the internet connection is really bad and my computer i about to dye. I will try again in the morning. This will probably be my last blog before we leave. We leave Tuesday. Today we said goodbye to the kids at sovanapoom. That was not easy and it was nearly impossible to walk away. They sang us a goodbye song, and made us little books with pictures they drew in them. I love those kids. I really do. Who knows when I will ever see them again. I got there email address though so I can write them. After we were done saying goodbye to them we went and said goodbye to the other orphanage. I think I have had enough goodbyes for a long time now. Yesterday we went to tuel sleng. It was… the most horrific thing I have ever seen. I don’t ever want to go back there again. But afterward we got to go to the Russian market. That was a lot of fun. But very overwhelming!! There was so much to pick through look at, how could you ever choose. But I did, I got losts of neat things for VERY cheap!! Tomorrow we are going to daughters of Cambodia. This is an organization that takes in prostitutes or slave girls and puts them on there feet. They help them find a trait and teach them how to do it, and find them a Job. Sally heard about this place and wants us to go visit. Then we are going to the Russian market again! YAY! And I think after that we are going to go get massages at Amara.

Here are some lyrics that portray what life is like for some of the girls that live here. A lot more than we all know about.

What would you do if your son was at home Crying all alone on the bedroom floor cuz hes hungry And the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money Cuz his daddys gone Somewhere selling rock now, in and out of lock down So for you this is just a good time, but for me this is what I call life

Girl you aint the only one with a baby, Thats no excuse to be livin all crazy. then she looked me right square in the eye, she said everyday i wake up hopin to dye. She said what do you know about pain. Me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldnt rape us. Before i was a teenager. Ive been through more that you cant even relate to.

What would you do?
