Adventures of Ashley in Cambodia Day 6

The heart-breaking day!!! Today was the day we left the girls. I had prayed for God to give me strength the night before. This morning we got up and I had lemon ice cream for breakfast, because I was afraid to try any other foods. Then we went to the Rapha House to have staff devos. After that I played with my six year old friend. She is adorable and very cute. Her laugh is soo sweet and innocent and when she smiles, she makes me smile. She wanted to take lots of pics then see herself in them. Then we went out to the counseling boat and make baskets with goodies for the new girls that would come in. It would make it easier on some of the people at Rapha House. After that we went and helped the girls shell some peanuts and played on their playground with them. Then we went to white rose and I had bread with peanut butter, which was really fantastic. Then we went to the salon. I had my hair colored, which was supposed to turn out black, but ended up being auburn. I like it a lot any way!!! Randa will have to tell about her highlights she got. I also got a manicure and a pedicure. It added up to $7. I was sooo shocked!!! After that we went back to the Rapha House. I gave my girls a bracelet. They gave me a bracelet, bow, and earrings. We had ice cream that was provided by one of the team members. Then our group performed our skit. It was really touching I believe. When Jesus saved the girl being torn apart by things of the world they all started clapping. Then some people gave testimonies and it really touched the girls. Some of the girls were touched emotionally. The girl next to me was crying and I just held her in my arms. After that we went to play with them, but mainly took pics. Then it was time to leave. I got on the bus and they were waving at us. After we pulled out I immediately started crying...I didn't want to say goodbye. I was attached. That night everyone was just in shock I think. We had devos then went to bed. We were also afraid of a guy in our hotel, so Randa and I padded our door with tissue paper, so the door wouldn't rattle and make us scared. Then we went to bed.
