Off to the FARM!

   Early this morning  (4:30 am) Stan and John and Tree headed for the farm its approx. a 5 hr drive, today they are going to try hauling a rototiller that will go on the back of their tractor, for preparing the soil for re-planting. Its a bit big for John's pick-up, so pray that they are able to safely haul it with no problems, I know John is a bit concerned with police stopping him, which is the reason for leaving on Sunday morning.
    I am staying here at Sovanapoom, while Stan is at the farm, Pray that I don't have any visitors with the name of Mister Rat!!
    I have a full schedule as my list of students continues to grow as more of the ladies that help in the Kitchen and teach, ask if they can learn also. I now have 21 kids and 7 adult/big girls.I have to brag on one of my students!  SreyVaughn teaches the pre-school/kindergarten class here she doesn't have legs, but she was given prosthetics, which she gets along with quite well, (she can even climb the stairs just fine) she also only has arms just below the elbow with no hands, she continues to amaze me!!!  She can thread the sewing machine needle better than me! I don't know how she holds the thread, but she can pin, cut, everything that has to do with sewing all by herself! she made a skirt this last week, and now asked for fabric to sew a shirt. In the last Sovanapoom Care newsletter there is a write up about her story. She is an inspiration to us all!!  We all forget that she is a "handicap" because she never acts really any different, she is so independent. I have never seen her without a smile, and a good attitude.  Just shows that anyone can do what ever they set their mind to!!

This is the centipede? I killed in our apartment:( it was approx. 3 inches long or so, and 1/2"wide I mentioned in a previous post.
