Nations to Nations

Outreach phase is officially here!!
Nations to Nations was a fantastic conference. Thursday night we had a cultural dance night and our group performed a modern dance. Lots of great dances were represented; there was a couple swing dancing, an awesome hip hop group, and the last act was a guy doing rhythmic juggling. Let's just say YWAM has a lot of talented people. Friday night we had a big dinner and then had a huge dance party. We learned how to dance to some Khmer songs, did the Cupid suffle, and some other western dance songs. It was a great night although I don't think I have ever sweated so much in just 2 hours of dancing (welcome to Cambodia haha).

Yesterday we had the day off. The night before I met a girl from America who is doing her DTS here in Cambodia. She was the one who did the swing dancing at the cultural show. Anyway she offered to teach me how to swing dance; so Sarah and I took a hour lesson from her in the afternoon. So much fun! She said what we learned in an hour usually takes a couple of beginners classes to learn. We also got lots of rain yesterday. It started to rain a little bit while we practiced and after we got back to our hotel it started to pour...and it poured for 5 hours without any breaks. That night it was decided to have a movie night since that's one of the best ways to spend a rainy evening :) We, of course, needed snacks so we ran over to the gas station; totally soaked but it was worth it :)

Since it rained last night it was an incredibly cool morning...I didn't even sweat (which is nearly a miracle for Cambodia). We went to a local church where I was in the skit that we performed and Sarah have her testimony. The girl who was translating for the pastor just got accepted to do a DTS in Colorado Springs. We thankfully have the rest of the day off :)

Monday and Tuesday we will be spent doing ministry prep in Battambang and then on Wednesday we head to a village nearby. We will be at the village until Saturday, helping at an orphanage. After that we will spend a week in Battambang helping with a cafe that the YWAM base runs.
