Missing people, but not sweat

Well, we're back from Cambodia! After 3 hours of sleep in 30 hours of travel on Tuesday, the 31st, we arrived at the airport at midnight and quickly departed off to our own beds to sleep as much of the night away as possible. But as much as Pastor Troy's recipe for speedily eradicating jet lag is working, my brain is not up to functioning at its normal capacity yet, so I'll keep this short.

I'm sorry to those that I told I would be blogging on this trip, since I clearly did not! I really had full intentions to, then at the last minute I decided to use a different device to keep track of the trip finances on (my main administrative duty), and that one did not have a big enough keyboard to comfortably write more than a tweet. I plan on taking a few days, or perhaps weeks, to share my stories. If you are really that interested, I believe there is a way for you to sign up to get email notifications when I post things. Most of you I know me on Facebook and/or we are on a texting basis, so text me or message me if you want to get those updates but can't figure it out.

For now, since my eyelids are heavy and my brain is stretching to think of words I think I knew before jet lag, I will just tell you that I am 1. not missing the humidity and the heat (although honestly, most of the time that was SO awful) but 2. Joyfully missing the beautiful people we had the privilege of ministering to. It was incredibly challenging to see certain horrors so up close and personal, but such a blessing to see God working through such humble and dedicated servants, and a privilege to meet them before - as the team director of AIM put it - the final "party." I feel truly blessed to have been able to go on this trip and so thankful that it was touched by God's blessing the whole way through.

Thank you so much for your prayers - I know that's why certain things worked out the way they did.
