Phnom Penh - Day 2

Had a very relaxing day. Met two missionaries from Cambodia, Pastor Kala and Vuthy, who do church planting and projects with the poor in the village. We were so inspired by them!  So passionate at their services to the Lord. Pastor Kala takes 9 kids into her home!  We were hoping to make connection with them to see if there may be opportunity to do some volunteering work in the future. Who knows what this meeting may bring.  Lots of prayers for directions. 

We also visited the local public market and did a bit of shopping in the malls. The prices surprised us as Cambodia uses US$ in addition to their own currency. Most of the items are listed in US$ and food and transportation as well. If the average workers earned only $120 per month, I have no idea how they could afford to buy things. Food is not expensive here but most others things are. Cambodians love BBQ - ubiquitous - particularly for sea food. They also eat fried crickets as appetizers.
