Here we go again

Tomorrow the 10th of June Anne Kate, Tom Kenneth and I are heading to Cambodia again. If we get there of course! Let me explain, the tickets take us with SAS airlines from Stavanger airport to Oslo airport then on to Bangkok with Thai airlines. This is presenting us with two potential problems, firstly there is the strong likelihood that SAS pilots will be taken out on strike at some point in the next 24 hours leaving us stranded at home unless we drive to Oslo. The second problem is at Oslo airport where the security staff will be taken out on strike tomorrow if they can't come to an agreement with their employers. The result of that will be to paralyze the whole airport.

I did think I was very organized for this trip but elements beyond my control may yet thwart me! If you pray then please pray for us!

The weather there at this time of year will be demanding too, it is normal for there to be 30-35 degrees centigrade and 80-90% humidity. It is the humidity which is the biggest problem as I am sure yhttps://www.google.no/maps/place/Chhuk,+Cambodia/@10.8355397,104.4462489,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x3109afec784f9669:0xda906e061fb57dda!8m2!3d10.8359733!4d104.4577732?hl=enou can imagine! 

So here is a summary of our itinerary:
Sat  Arrive, check into guest house and either fall asleep or go sight seeing.
Sun  Team meeting with us pluss Steve the international leader for Agenda 1, the translator and Rivo who will be joining us as an observer. In the afternoon we drive to Tboung Khmom which is on the boarder with Vietnam. Follow the link below for a map and some information:

Mon and Tue we will be teaching in a rural church where church leaders will be gathered from all over the provinse, here is a picture from last time. There is no air condition there, not in the guest house or the church. It is much too far off the tourist track to have such luxuries. If we are lucky there may be a fan or two.


Tuesday eveing after teaching during the day we will be back in the minibus and down to Chhuk which is south of Phnom Penh, the journey took 6 hours last time we did it.
Wed and Thur we will be teaching the mostly the same material in Chhuk before heading to the airport and our return journey to Norway. Below is a link to a map and some information about Chhuk.
