what an amazing day. we have bathed the past 10 days in prayer, and God has met every need. he even heard evan's prayer this morning (evan is 10) when we were ready to go to the orphanage for our last day and the van would not start. we knew we needed to pray, and because evan is always so willing to say a blessing for us he went ahead and simply told God we needed our van to start. "in Jesus name i pray, amen", he said... and the van started ;) we all cheered, and cried. it was one of the greatest moments today. God used something so simple to get us trusting in Him for the day. feeling so defeated knowing we had to say goodbye to 35 of the sweetest faces, He showed us evan's faith in Him and we were able to praise Him for it before we started our last day here. this morning during our devotion we encouraged each other through reading God's word and we were reminded all the ways God provides, even in our desperate needs to start a van so we could go to the orphanage. He will continue to provide for these children after we leave them, and our prayer is that the burden we have for them will never go away. we pray this burden spills over to everyone around us, and they will be taken care of, and visited.

i have never been given so many gifts! we brought things for the kids to make themselves bracelets, and necklaces but they insisted on putting them on our necks and wrists. they made us cards and pictures all day. one of my cards says "i love you the strongest". God is so good and he shows us His love through children. i will leave here with the memory of little hands reaching for mine, hearing their voices sing in their beautiful language, and the laughter from the one's who would not even look you in the eye the first day. i also have this team who has supported one another in huge ways.

we make our way to siem reap tomorrow to ride some elephants, what a great way to end such a life changing trip. may God be glorified through everything we do.
