The Aussies arrive

I'm not sure how much time and energy I will have for blogging in the next week or so since the teams are arriving. Bill has given the interns complete responsibility of the English camp and the short termers so we will be spending the weekend escorting the teams around the city, taking them to market, bartering for them and making sure they don't get lost. With 53 people, that should be interesting.

The first team arrived tonight and it reminded me how excited I am for more short termers. One of the main reasons I signed up for this particular internship is that I love being able to help short term teams and after a month in Cambodia, I'd forgotten how much I've learned since being here. We haven't seen a short term team in about 2 weeks and it will be awesome to be able to show them Cambodia.

Pray for them as they all arrive over the next two days. They will be tired, jet lagged, intimidated and culture shocked, just like I was. So I hope God will be able to use us interns to help make things easier for them. Also pray for us interns though. We are pushing through our last two weeks. During a 2-hour break today, we all feel asleep on the guest house floor. What a sight to walk in and see 6 bodies sprawled out everywhere. But we are all feeling great and excited for camp to start again.
