"A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love"

I am so grateful for this opportunity, and will put everything I have into the work I do, the games I play, and the everything else I come across while I am in Cambodia. This is a once in a life time trip and it means the world to me! I can't explain the emotions in the day that come across me. I just want to pack each and every one of them in my suit case and bring them home.

This morning, we switched the people who went to the Russian market, so I was part of that group. The first few things I see as we walk in are some live fish constantly flopping around in these wooden baskets, skinned frogs, and and tones of meat hanging on a string from their little canopy's. It was definitely a new and interesting smell, but every second is part of the experience.
We bought what we needed and then got out of there to get to spend the most time as possible at the orphanage.
Today was mainly play, which was really fun, but I also wish that every day would be working so that we could get as much as possible done for these kids. They need it.
It's also good to look at how happy they are with us. Every second we are there, they are either calling your name, tugging on your arms, or strangling you with hugs and saying I love you sister.
It was an amazing day. Most of the boys at the orphanage now call me "ma-ma chick-en" and it's very fun to hang out with every single child, because they are all different, but have similar stories. Towards the end, we had this dance party with loud speakers for Keavy's birthday. Then, she got a candle lit, and confetti city appeared. I was also very surprised how well the kids all danced and played instruments.
It also rained for the first time since we've been here, and it felt really good.

I can't wait for tomorrow!!! Another day to come :D
