**quick note- I’m avoiding people right now until my immune system bounces back and I get some more energy**

Hey guys- I hope you have been able to keep abreast of our trip on John and Jordan’s blogs.

I got a little sick when I was over there. I was so fatigued I was sleeping day and night- with about 1 or two hours of energy. I started getting really sick on Sunday while I was preaching at Narin’s church. John says I looked ready to keel over during the second service. I eventually went to the SOS clinic (closest thing to a western hospital). They gave me 4 bags of saline and gave me a blood test. My white blood cel count was at 2,000 (should be bw 7,000 and 10,000). The next day my white blood cel count was down to 1,600. The doc reccommended I wait another two weeks before flying back- but I wanted to get home quickly to my family (and western medicine). According to JMC this little Drama was my intitiation into doing work in Cambodia ;) Meeting the kids in our orphanage and catching more vision was definitly worth all the other drama.

The flight was amazingly without drama (thanks to the prayers of all the kids in our orphanage) Jordan’s a great guy to travel with. Special thanks to Tim and Beth Koruna for making some special arrangments for us during our LA layover, and for helping Adrienne with the logistics of pickin me up.

Spent the morning at an OSU health clinic for sme blood work- praying that my blood is one the way back to normall.

I have so much blogs bouncing around in my head about the trip that I hope make it out one of these days.

Awesome to have you and Jordan back. He’s full of stories that we’ve only started to tap. Thanks for loving your cousin…he will never be the same. Can’t wait to see your blogs…

Take care,
