So awhile ago I had mentioned that the door had closed for me to work in the assessment center... well God worked a little miracle and I had my first day there today. The girls were a variety of ages and there were too many that looked around 7 years old. Why?! Why would anyone want to have sex with kids? Anyways, while Bev is away in Canada, I am helping another lady in filling in Bev's place doing sports and games. Today I also had to lead worship for the kids as the lady who usually does it had to leave to take care of her son. (Bible Study and a time of singing is provided for the girls if they want to attend). So here I was leading songs in Khmer – one of which I vaguely knew in English and the other I had never heard before... but I had a CD so I mouthed along and followed the actions the kids were doing. Thank goodness children’s songs are repetitive :p Anyways, when I put on the last song, the one I had never heard before, the children all closed their eyes and put their hands in the traditional form of showing respect. It was interesting to notice the height of their hands as that dictates the degree of respect being shown. Wow! It was pretty amazing to watch them sing from their hearts.
PS. Sorry there will be no pictures in relation to the assessment center as that is not allowed.
Thank you to everyone who was praying for me this week. I was sick for a couple days but now I am feeling much better! Thanks!

aw, beca! That's so exciting! Praise the Lord that you were able to work in there! I pray that God will fill your heart with peace and knowledge His goodness whenever sad/angry thoughts come barging in (especially with regards to the ages of the girls). It is so wonderful to know that some of these girls are experiencing the goodness of Christ!
