We Started off our weekend on Saturday morning by searching for computer stores in Siam Reip. At first it was depressing as we could not find any cheap parts. But eventually after our 6th or so try and over ten miles of biking we hit gold! We were able to get a computer up and running for $35 and we also got a monitor old but still good. The store owners were so happy about the purchases that they personally closed up shop and took our parts back to the University of Nations.
For Sunday we had two services one for the baby Christians that have come to Christ through the school. Which was a particularly eventful service as the kids put on a rather moving show about Christs love. The worship was full of joy and laughter with lots of dancing. From there we broke into small groups to talk about what we learned that day and to give some more personal touch to questions that every baby Christan would have. The second service was international and it was amazing to see people from all over the world worshiping God not to mention there was air conditioning which was enough to make me feel God in itself.
The best part about the weekend though was the night at the queoue.
It was a place were the local Cambodians hung out and had fun. So what you would do is find a mat and then from there you could play some carnival games which Jason not only tried but won a Sport( a knockoff of Sprite). From there we pereused the food options and picked up several different foods including grasshoppers which both Jason and I ate two! Anyways after getting all of the food we went back to the mat and we all feasted and laughed and just simply enjoyed life. It was great to build realationship and it allowed us to connect and get a feel for how life is here for the common person. Giving a great perspective on life in the outside world and how some things are not all that different from home.
That is all for now and I post tomorrow of how our first computer classes went.
