#32 - Gratitude and the Unexpected

Vol. 32

Thank you for praying for my Grade one class at 3 to 4 in the afternoon.
In His mercy, God has granted a fresh release of energy since I asked for your prayers, and also creativity to teach the basics to these little ones. I will be teaching them a Christmas song tomorrow, the same one that Lorilee and Solange were a part of as Shyamala's singing group at the last Christmas banquet at RAC!
The journey into Rescue from the city has taken on interesting undertones. It has become my ‘rooftop’! I begin to listen to whatever song my finger goes to on my phone (known to everyone here as the Ian! It makes many interesting noises such as the sound of a train when I get an email!). And instead of dancing literally, I dance by singing aloud! This is interesting because I am wearing a mask so I would not breathe in the dust etc., yet I am belting out the song and the tuk tuk driver is never sure if I am trying to communicate with him or just the fact that I am a foreigner and I do not know how to breathe using the mask! I get to close my eyes and pray for this land of Cambodia amidst the hustle and bustle; the beggars coming up to the tuk tuk when we stop; or for my students as I am going in. Interestingly enough, He gives me you to pray for. So please keep your prayer requests coming! 
Unexpected: My living and travelling expenses have increased for my 2nd year at POR, and my current financial support is at 60 percent. I am trusting God for His provision.
I am so thankful for each of you and your continued prayer and financial support.

Thank you for interceding and dancing with me, your style!!!

Dancing with Him with a new song,
Love, Sister Vidya
