new. family.

Went to new church today!

Very good. Very moving. I had met the pastor a few times. She speaks in English and her husband translates to Khmer. Was first time since I have been that I understood the message. They also put the words to the songs on flat screen TV in both English and Khmer.  

Met five other Americans today. As soon as they found out I was the bacon man they want to buy. One girl, Margaret, is in the Peace Corp. She is trying to do health related teaching. Having a hard time getting it done.  But she is going to teach it here. Write curriculum for us and teach. She has 18 months left. Told her what a blessing it was to met her. This may be more a blessing for her. She has not got to do much in the seven months she has been here.  

Also met Khem, a man from Vancouver. He is going to teach a class in US business practices and why we do so good. He has been in US since 1980. Spent five years in refuge camp in Thailand before he went the the US.  More than happy to help. Very strong Christian. Going to write Biblical curriculum so Chinda can teach it after he leaves on Aprli 17th. 

If everything goes right should receive equipment a few weeks before that time. Praying we do. Can't really teach anything until we start. God is so good. He has been putting the people in place before I even go looking for them. That is the main reason I know this is of the Lord. All the pieces are just falling into place.  Except the funds. But know they are coming just not from where or how soon. Have been sitting around too long. Time to do something.
 
These two things are a very big deal. They don't understand at all why we took the tile out of the kitchen. About every tenth piece was loose and under it was crud. From what they have come form it is very clean. Told them it has to be super clean. Said just to humor me. They just smiled. Think they think I am crazy. I have tried to explain but now have someone that really is able tell them why it has to be this way. The Khmer man will be able to explain business our way in a way they will understand. So important. 

There are going to be many changes here doing this business. Most in just the way we do things so different from them. 

Thanking the Lord for these people and they are both Christian. Thank you Lord. 

God Bless form your brother in Christ Jesus.
