I am feeling so very appreciative of all the encouragement and love people are giving me as I prepare to move to Cambodia. Thank you so much to those people who have been praying for me, offering financial support, advise and practical help. You know who you are, and I am feeling overwhelmed with how kind you have been.

"SUESAWDAY"
The word for 'hello' in Khmer is pronounced 'sue-saw-day' with sue as in a woman's name, saw as in a thing you cut with, and day as in sunday.
I have been doing some basic language study- learning Khmer is essential as the women I will be working with mostly don't speak English, and some are illiterate in Khmer. I cant find a language school in London which teaches Khmer, so I've got a CD. I can so far only say a few basic words/phrases. Once I get to Phnom Penh I will be having some language lessons, and I am fortunate that there are some wonderful translators at Daughters.
"You want Moto Lady"
 |
| Phnom Penh moto's |
Another challenge for me is going to be riding a moped around the streets of Phnom Penh- Im scared of Motor bikes, bikes, mopeds, anything with 2 wheels (give me a horse any day). So far I have managed wobbling on a Boris bike around London, it was the 1st time I have ridden a bike since I was about 12! Next I will be getting on a friends Moped-eeek!!! Im selling as many of my belongings as possible, so I can hopefully afford to buy a Moto when I get to Phnom Penh-how exciting!!
I am so excited about this amazing opportunity to share all that I have with such wonderful Women in Cambodia. I have Luke 4:16-19 going around in my head. God has shown me personally what this verse means in my life: he has set me free, given me riches beyond measure, and freedom to be who he made me to be. My prayer for the women I meet will be that they also receive the freedom Jesus offers them-that they would know his Kindness beyond measure!
“The spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the lords favor” Luke 4:16-19
