halo camp

well howdy.

sorry about the delay in posting. the internet crashed on my last post, so i've been waiting to get back to the hotel to do something about it.

well highlights since my last post include:

seeing 'some' of the temples at siem reap. including the one where tomb raider was filmed. pretty spectacular. its amazing to think that they were all built about 2000 years ago over a period of about 400 years, scaling a land area similar to modern day new york city! wowsers!

we have also just returned from the 'project halo' youth camp. now 'halo' is a nice acronym but i can't for the life of me remember it. the mission is to surround orphans (due to HIV/aids, landmines, kymer rouge) with a support network to help them through life, one of the ways they do this is through pairing them up with an older christian youth in a big brother, big sister partnership. so we had approx between 120 - 150 kids at camp, and had a great time with them.
some also surrendered their lives to Christ so that was awesome. the times of worship were just amazing, and in a sauna like atmosphere, we spent most of our time dripping, but well worth it for the cause. it was just a joyous occasion really.
very tiring though, due to the heat, the busy schedule, wrestly kids, 8 flights of stairs to get to my room and mornings initiated with running and aerobis exercise.
me thinks i will sleep well tonight.

well say hi to the team for me, and we'll catch up later.

and alana - you have a new teaching job? congratulations.

ok kids, take care eh?

peace out.
carl.
