It was a great privilege to host 3 families from Cambodia who we've worked with over the last 11 years. They had the opportunity to learn about life in Texas. We went to a rodeo, rode horses, ate barbeque, attended church, learned line dancing and saw oil wells. Most important we spent time with some amazing people. Over and over again our Cambodian friends were surprised at how friendly people are in Texas. For me, it was an opportunity for my Cambodian friends and colleagues to meet my Texas family and experience my home and culture. We have shared life and culture over the last 11 years and this was a great opportunity to deepen our understanding of one another.
We were also able to participate in a retreat in the mountains of New Mexico with Prepare International. This was a time of refreshing for us all. A time to slow down and spend time with God. Please pray for our Cambodia friends as they return home to resume ministry. Please also pray for the Hester family as we process the time we had to rest and reflect in the US this summer.
