the real cambodia
today i seen the real cambodia, the ladies myself, eric and 2 other missionary's to a long car ride outside the city to some of the remote villages. nothing can prepare oneself for what you would see, no powerlines because no one has electricity, no running water, no paved roads, no cars, no furniture inside homes, just small shacks made from bamboo and trees with bar floors. children ran around everywhere and looked at us with huge eyes because to them we are aliens. this is the part of cambodia no one visits only the missionary's every so often but i was fortunate enough to see along this journey. life here is very simple, people live day to day and just seem to be the happiest people on the planet, they have no clue of what goes on outside of there own little world and sometimes its best kept this way. its hard to think of going back to the everyday life after seeing these, back home people are so worried about the things that really are not life essentials and here its easy to see this. my time here has been well spent and i am grateful for this chance to help and touch the lives of those around me, i pray one day that i will return to this unscene country and maybe transform those who have yet to be discovered.
