TEAMWORK!
We moved from the hotel to the Broeckert's house on Friday. It's been great not to have to go back and forth to the hotel, but getting used to the water situation here has been a little interesting. There's no water pressure upstairs, where our room & the bathroom we use is, except for between ~10PM and ~5:30AM. Hubert rigged a bucket shower contraption for use during the rest of the day, and it seemed like that would work just fine until the dilemma of washing my hair came up. Most of you know that I have really thick hair, and trust me, it takes a lot of water just to wet it, nevermind wash it. Andrew and I stayed up till after 10PM last night, when there was water pressure, and then I knealt over a basin on the floor while andrew used the spray hose to wet my hair. We kept the water in the basin to use for flushing the toilet... well in the end we managed to wash my hair, but I'm wondering if it might just be easier to cut it all off! :-) Anyways

Tricia and Heather left on Friday to go back home. It's a lot different without them here, taking pictures of absolutely everything and picking on each other. I know we all really miss them, and I still can't imagine what it's going to be like at the hospital on Monday without them!

We will be leaving for Phnom Penh on Friday to spend some time with the Freezes, then we'll come back here until we leave to go back to the States.

Hubert and Andrew are going to be going on a trip out to a pretty remote village (it's 4 hours away via motorcycle on a dirt road) where they've never heard the gospel before, save one time when Hubert stopped there a few years ago. Spirit worship is very very strong there. Hubert and Andrew are going to stay there for a night or two, speak to people, and show some evangelistic movies. They're also going to set up a time for a mobile clinic to come, which will be quite the experience, as they've never had any type of clinic up there. Pray for us!

Hubert's also rustling up an English class of policemen for Andrew to teach when we get back from Phnom Penh. That should be interesting! I went with Hubert to an English class that he teaches at a school that's only a few steps away from where they live. It was a lot fun- despite the visiting mouse and mosquitoes!
