We had a five hour bumpy bus ride this morning. But after all the little things we did when we got here, we headed to Rapha House. There were squeals on the bus from my fellow teammates as we drove through the gate. It was raining, so we drove all the way and they greeted us on both sides, giving us flower wreaths. They were beautiful and smelled amazing. Then they did some old traditional khmer dances for us, we ate outside on the veranda, and then danced in mob like fashion the rest of the night. So intense and so unbelievable all at the same time. They are always so overjoyed to see you. And even when we left for the night I got tons of hugs from girls I hadn't even met yet. The girls are so willing to teach us and to learn from us as well. It's a beautiful sight. I don't feel an extreme connection to any girl in particular yet and and I wonder if I ever will. The old timers on my team say I will though. You know what's funny still, even after I've finally met them? I'm still afraid. When will fear ever leave me?!? I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, or even just miss huge opportunities. God please give my heart a rest. I trust these girls' lives are in Your hands and so I will trust mine is as well. To You be the glory.
