Yesterday, after Khmer lessons, Scott called me. He had my wallet. When he was at the market in the late morning, one of the boys from his homestay that he played soccer with gave him my wallet. Granted there was no money in it, but it did have all of my receipts and documents, so that's good. And it makes my finacial report a little easier.
I also didn't realize how much we, as white peole, stick out. I'm sure we're the daily entertainment for the whole town.

Hi Carol,
It was so good to hear from you again! It sounds like you have had a busy time since you last posted. I am glad you had the chance to visit the other countries and spend time with friends. It's exciting to see your world expanding as you meet and get to know more people around the globe. I pray you will continue to find God faithful in meeting all your needs (getting your wallet returned with receipts intact), etc...
Have you heard from Kelley that she took in a new roommate? (A dog)... We will get to meet her this weekend hopefully...
In closing, I want to give you these verses to ponder from Philippians 4:8&9 "Finally, brothers (& sisters), whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."
Blessings!

Carol,
My name is Ansley Higginbotham, from the beef store in Orange. Your mom gave us your card when you left for Cambodia. Page and I have been praying for you and reading your blog.
From reading your frustrations about your age and difficulties, I thought I would list some good verses for you. God Bless You!

Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe. (I Timothy 4:12 NASB)
Now the word of the LORD came to me saying,
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
And before you were born I consecrated you;
I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."
Then I said, "Alas, Lord GOD!
Behold, I do not know how to speak,
Because I am a youth."
But the LORD said to me,
"Do not say, 'I am a youth,'
Because everywhere I send you, you shall go,
And all that I command you, you shall speak.
"Do not be afraid of them,
For I am with you to deliver you," declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 1:4-8 NASB)
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
(Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV)
Enjoying your entries as usual....
blessings to you,
erin
