We went to church at a small village church today.  First we went to really small village near Tonle Sap lake where the church is about a month old. Phaedra shared the story of Jonah with about 30 kids.

And Annika gave out candy to the class, and then found a dog.

We then went back to another church for snacks and lunch and church service.

This lady (Theresa if I remember correctly), a Chinese lady from Malaysia living in Cambodia who lived in New Jersey for almost 15 years, immediately grabbed Annika and took her on a tour around the church. Showed her some animals, plants, fruit trees, and talked to her for a while.  It’s rare that Annika enjoys talking with strangers (she is like her daddy), but she really liked her. She was such an energetic, honest, and friendly 73 year old.

Another great surprise snack. I can’t remember what it’s called, but its made of rice, sugar, beans.  Tasted like a thick skinned donut with a nutty filling. I had 4 

I didn’t get many pictures, but one thing you notice wherever you are in Cambodia is youth.  The median age of Cambodia is 25, compared to 38 in the US. Most of the church is ran by really young people.  There main pastor is a missionary from the Philippines, but other than that, a lot of hard working 20-somethings.
