Last days, not quite what I had planned...

First, off the last blog I posted somehow my computor thought it knew best and posted it as oct 12, so if you want to read it you have to scroll down thru dates to find it.. I dont know how that happend hoping this one gets posted right...
    My time at Sovanapoom got shortened by 2 days, had to leave there on Thursday morning, for 2 reasons, the government was closing Russian Blvd and I think Noradom blvd plus several side streets that join them (at least sections of them) so they were predicting seriuos traffic issues, for Friday thru Monday.. So John suggested I get to closer to airport side of town thursday. Halls offered to let me stay with them, I so appreciated them, and their generosity :-) the problem was I had enough projects to do to fill all the days, now I had to get them done in 1 day Wed...! Praying hard for my back to hold up, & thankful for pain pills, I put whatever capable kids that were around me helping, to finish projects or at least get quick lessons in how to finish, Christmas costumes, mending, a boys sewing projects, a teacher who I was teaching to sew a shirt,  had to show one of the girls what she needed to teach the teacher to do to finish... and pack ect!! What a day & night, a couple of girls wanted to stay the night with me, so of course I let them! I spent the night tearing apart a pair of pants I was sewing last minute for Ra, and in my rush realized I had sewed them wrong... grrrrr the saying "the hurry you go the behinder you get" is so true! But by thursday am I was as ready..as I could be... God was graciuos and gave me stregnth for the day! never ready to say goodbye tho!
    John got word that the rice was needing to be harvested, so to save on fighting traffic with 2 trips across town, he loaded up a few of the older boys, some had never gone up ther  before:-) and dropped me off on his way to the farm.  He also was able to purchase a Harvestor, to take up to help get the rice harvested easier. Cheaper to do that then pay for so much labour cutting it all by hand and faster.
   I enjoyed my time with the Halls, a bit of an adjustment, from super busy, to not at all..... friday, enjoyed going to Logo's school with Darlene to watch the boys in the jog a thon, a fund raiser the school was doing to raise funds for a generator. The enjoyed a nice lunch at "Gateway" a coffee shop type  ministry to university students. That afternoon I had to spend laying in bed because the back was again not cooperating, praying for the travels on Saturday...
   My trip is coming to a close, I feel bad that I had to say good bye a couple days early to the kids at Sovanapoom, but Gods in control of this trip, so He must have a reason for this also,. See you all soon.  Lori
