Loved

Hi folks,   no pictures tonight cos Pat is in charge!
Tracy is coping well with some bad news, her dad has died over night in hospital of a massive stroke.
He had had mini strokes before and on this occasion Hazel found him unconcious from which he never woke and slipped away peacefully with the family with him.
This does not make it any easier to cope with thousands of miles away.

As a team we have had a very good day.
The LOVED party today.
This was a day based on the 5 love languages , Gary Chapman, to a group of students. http://www.5lovelanguages.com/learn-the-languages/the-five-love-languages/

The students are supported in dormitories by Sithoun and Lysom our Normision hosts. This enables them to move from families in the countryside and study at university. Some were studying to be nurses, midwifes, teachers etc.
They were a fantastic group, enjoyed the teaching presented by Hans and Anita magnificently.
There were games to show the various languages including moving sweets with a straw, writing on plates attached to your back,1st to eat a length of licorice,etc.
We had lunch together and then went on a boat on ther Mekong with some burgers.
The whole day included several tuk tuk rides with our tame driver Polly although we do feel that his tuk tuk is not well and may not last the week.Being out in such a busy, vibrant, young city at night is a fantastic experience and we are all enjoying it.
Anne-Kate who is rooming with Tracy and I is now telling jokes in english so we can safely say her english is better than my norwegian.
Tomorrow, sunday, we go to join the students for their service, at which Tracy is preaching,and then drive onto Siem Reap to visit Angkor Wat. Tracy is in the bath now polishing the sermon.
We have no idea about WiFi as we travel onward but will connect as soon as possible.
