Adventures of Ashley in Cambodia Day 5

Day 5

This morning we went to Rapha House and we had devos with the staff at Rapha House. They all were really intrigued by us I think. Then all of us girls and Josh plus a few adults went to the market to get stuff to put in the baskets that the girls get when they first come to the house. I can sum up the market in several words....smelly, gross, and basically disgusting, but it is their way of getting what they need. It would be like our Wal-Mart, but not as fancy and Wal-Mart isn't that fancy. Then we were invited to a wedding, which we were not aware of til we got there. The food was really interesting...I just drank my coke. We thought that there was a snake of a head in our food bowl, because it had eyes and looked like a snake....Randa will have to post a pic. It really freaked me out. The bride was extremely pretty, but it was raining and the bride and groom seemed sad, because if guests didn't show up, then their wedding wouldn't be paid for. Then we went to get our photos taken in traditional Khmer clothing. The person that did my hair and make up was a cross dresser, but he/she did a really good job. I don't even look like myself though. They kinda scare me. I took two in Kmer traditional clothing and one in a purple dress I picked out. Then we took a tuk-tuk back to the hotel. It is a form of transportation in Cambodia. I really liked my hair in the photos. We went to White Rose again and I ordered something I didn't like AGAIN...so I decided I am sticking to rice and hot tea. Then we went to Rapha Hoouse. S had just got back from school. She greeted me. Then we performed another one of our skits for the girls. I was the girl with the cell phone that was placing that before God. It was called "idolizer." We would look at Jesus pose him to our idol then he would go back to being on the cross. After that we taught the girls how to dance to Cupid's Shuffle, it was so much fun, we had to do it twice. We laughed the whole time. S and I were laughin when S would turn the wrong way. Then we went back outside and played games with them. One of them was monkey in the middle and I was in the middle for a while. After that I was tired and went and sat on the steps and talked to S and R. I became close to R that night too. She was a sweet girl with an open heart, just like S. They asked me questions and Randa and I told them we would send them some pics of American boys if we could....lol! I knew that the next day we would be leaving and would not see them again until the next time we came...if we did. I was sad after we left that night. We had devos that night and said who we were thankful for then we went to bed.
