Sorry I haven’t any photos, but for all who’ve prayed…. Daniel just came out of surgery at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok, where a tuberculosis infected lymph gland was removed. He’s sleeping in the recovery room as I write this. Most likely, the noncontagious and treatable illness has hampered Daniel since our initial stay in Cambodia. Daniel’s surgeon was the same who removed Josiah’s tonsils December 28, 2006. Sufficient funds have been received to pay for all associated costs. Thanks to all who have prayed and shared so generously. Grace, Christi & Josiah are doing well. Pray for Anna Thompson who is suffering from shingles. Christi has been teaching Children’s SUnday morning Bible hour in Anna’s absence.

At 3:00am in the Bangkok Airport a Taxi Driver looking for Tin Hath finds us waiting!

After 24 hours by air and 14 hours by taxi, we arrived in Phnom Penh to find things much as they were a year ago, only worse. Our previously furnished house was missing many items; even the bike that had endured four collisions had been traded for a different one, now unavailable for use. Grace and Tim are in classes now, the children as well. We’ll do our best to resume our daily blogging. Please pray for our students — one of Tim’s being a grandaughter of the mayor of Phnom Penh.

Crossing the border into Cambodia (below), we encountered some strange creatures on our trip through the countryside.
