One more month and I'll be home!

That considered, I'm trying to live in the moment and not get burnt out and apathetic about what God's doing here and what He wants to do in me.

We are moving to another guest house today and we won't have wireless access anymore, so it's possible that I won't be able to send any more updates out until I come home. I may, I'm not sure what it'll be like at field forum, so it's possible I might be able to send out something then.

But just in case I don't have any access I want to give you my schedule so you can know what I'm up to and be praying.
This week, Monday through Saturday, we will be doing an English camp here in Phnom Penh, the students are mostly high school and college age. We do worship and testimonies from the short termers for opening, then split up into groups of about 20 for 2-3 hours for "classroom" time. I will be over a group of 4 short termers who will be teaching a group of 20. Then we have lunch and a break then at 2 we will go somewhere, we're going to the market one day, the water park another, the mall another, etc. Then we're done for the day. Friday we're taking a day long trip to the zoo I think and then Saturday we have a little celebration/graduation and it's over.
After English camp we have a short break and then the 14th we'll go down to the gulf of Thailand for Field Forum. I'm pretty sure I'll be with the youth, 12-18ish, hanging out with them while their parents are in meetings and generally just having fun with them, I'm sure we'll be doing some "constructive" stuff too! We'll be down there until the 20th and then we'll come back to Phnom Penh for a day or two.
Around the 23rd we take a bus up to Siem Reap for another English camp up there, same thing pretty much, except we'll have less students and less short termers. So I'll have more interaction with the students and more "teaching" time. We come back to Phnom Penh on the 2nd and then I fly out with Jackie on the 3rd.

I think that's about it. Please pray for love for the students, and good team dynamics between us interns and also the teams that are arriving today. We have 16 people coming to help with this English Camp. Thanks again to those of you who have sent me e-mails and encouragement cards, I don't have the time to respond to each of you, but it has been a huge blessing. Please also continue to pray for my funding. Thank you for all your prayers and support.

Blessings,
Naomi
