Henna

Henna is basically a temporary tattoo lasting up to a couple of weeks. There are some pretty intricate designs.

 

 We bought a tube of the henna ink and Christopher gave it a try on the girls.

 Not a bad job for a beginner

Cambodia Part 3

There is laundry to do everywhere in the world.

We had the opportunity to visit some of the homes of the Members of our Church.

Here is a picture of the Hong Kong Temple 

 

We were able to bring food to some families. What a treat for us to be able to meet these good people and have their great influence in our lives forever.

We learned so much from these good people in Cambodia. There are good people in every corner of the world.

 This little girl was fascinated by Sydney's old light up shoes. She

I will never complain about laundry again...Made not only me extremely grateful, but the kids have a new found appreciation of what "work" really is.

Our Tuk Tuk on the way to Church. By far the kids favorite way to get around Phnom Penh

We made our way to the beach in Sihanoukville. It was a 4 hour drive on crazy roads.

 

Wake boarding with the older boys. We rented a boat because I was missing ours terribly. The older boys had a great time wakeboarding. I did manage to get up skiing, but it was a slow boat so I didn't do anything fancy and because I am in charge of the blog there will be no pictures posted- in fairness they are a bit blurry.

This is a fishing village near where we were staying. Much of the village was built mostly over the water.

This cute little boy was sleeping in a very torn hammock outside of his shack. It was hot and muggy, yet this little guy was sleeping so peacefully.

This handsome cheerful boy was cleaning out the nets. After this visit, my kids had a different attitude about work. We are so very blessed.
