A House Tour

Hello friends! I thought that maybe it was about time that I gave you a tour of my current host-family's house. But first I'd like to thank everyone for their prayers.

As many of you know, I was hit my a motorbike while riding my bicycle two weeks ago. I was riding along, thinking about how it isn't that scary to ride my bike anymore when I felt an impact from behind. I actually never saw what hit me. I know that God was watching out for me, though, as three people in a van stopped and helped me off of the road. They cleaned my wounds and even drove me to meet Susan Caldwell so that she could accompany me to a clinic. One of the persons in the van spoke English (all of my Khmer temporarily left with the pain), and I later found out that he was also a Christian.

I am healing very nicely. Originally, the doctor believed that I had probably broken my tailbone, but I can thankfully report that that is not the case. I still have a little bit of pain at night and in the morning, but that is all. I have even started to ride my bike again. Thank you for your prayers!

Now for the house tour . . .

These are clothes drying.

This is the landing leading upstairs. We take off our shoes here. I don't like that cat.

These are fish drying on the roof outside of my window.

This is the "living room." As you can see, it is technically outside.

Here is my bedroom. It is very small, so I am living out of my suitcase. It also prevents the mosquitoes from hiding in my clothes.

Here you can see my tiny bed and my pink mosquito net.

This is my bicycle being used as a drying rack.

This is the "yard". My host family are landlords for at least a dozen garment factory workers. Usually, there is at least one person in this area.
