Today was a tourist day. But this morning we spent at the little RH. I gave my devo for the staff and some girls this morning. It went okay... just a few translation problems:p Then we hung out with a few girls for just a little bit and then we had to say goodbye for the last time. It was really weird. I was just getting to know them! In some ways, I like this RH better because its smaller and they have a lot ahead of them still. The only occupational training they have right now at this location is handmade silk scarves. And they are learning english from an American woman who has lived here learning the language for a year already and now will be committed to another two years if not longer. We got to hear her story as well and it was really great. I keep asking God if I will be next. If I will one day soon be in Cambodia with a three year commitment...He hasn't answered yet. Then later we drove for awhile and visited Angkor Wat. It was beautiful but I was sick-- physically and emotionally. I hate looking at all those empty temples worshipping a god that doesn't even exist. So, it wasn't the best. I'm just getting really tired and annoyed fast. I didn't come here to be a tourist and I hate myself when I act like one, buying tons of stuff I don't really need and just focusing WAY too much on myself. I feel like I've lost my purpose. I would rather be home than here as a tourist. At least at home, I know my purpose there will be to continue on the stories and lives I've come across here.
