Month 5: CAMBODIA!
This month was full of...
New month. New country. New team. Well hello there SONshine!! You ate a tarantula?!?!! Yeah... sorry Charlotte. “Hey lady, tuk tuk for you???” Baby hearts for dayyyyssss. “Thank you Jesus. I love you!” To the hospital we go. “I’m sorry did you say I have salmonella and typhoid?!!” How do you say thank you again... (sings Hakuna Matata in head) ohhhh yeahhh “ARKOUN!” Dancing, singing, yelling, spinning, jumping around, playing my ukulele, and crying tears of joy on the roof. *looks up at stars while silently sobbing. “God I just love you so much.” *sees The Greatest Showman one time. “Oh without a doubt that’s my MOST FAVORITE movie in the WHOLE HISTORY of ALL TIME!!! Immediately downloads soundtrack and blares it on the roof, on tuk tuk rides, and anywhere and everywhere in between. “HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!” Sudsy heads, wrinkled fingers, this is the best Valentine’s Day EVER!! “How did you break your toe?” Playing soccer with the kids in the village... barefoot. Making balloon animals for park outreach. Well, I’m really good at making snakes. “I would take one for the team and have you spit it in my mouth.” Excuse me Michelle?!?!!! “VERT CHECK!” Testimony Team Times and learning how we can best support and love one another. National Eating Disorder Awareness Week; conquering my old food rules... challenge accepted. Wait I mean chEllenge (cue three snaps in the air) see Hannah you are rubbing off on me. “Ohhhhh Sna!!!” Pressing in through prayer, through the word, and through knowing myself and those around me (thanks enneagram). Flash mob time! “Nobody puts Brit in a corner!” Goodbye Asia and arkoun for the memories!!
My time in Cambodia was transformational. Month 5 brought some of the hardest moments I’ve faced thus far on The Race, but it also left me the most awestruck, the most humbled, and the most head over heels in love with my Heavenly Father. Cambodia you are a truly captivating country with the most genuine and loving people. I pray to be reunited with you someday, but until then I have a special place in my heart reserved just for you.
