This spring, our family once again joined the students of the EMM dorms for the annual Dorm Retreat, a time to get away from the city and studies and to play, relax and get to know one another better. March 8 (International Women's Day) found us traveling by chartered bus to Sihanoukville in Kompong Som Province - also known as "the beach." : ) We enjoyed free time to play on the beach, the opportunity to eat fresh "grueng samut" (seafood), listening to a Cambodian young woman serving with YWAM share her testimony and Ryan share on God's plan for love relationships. And what's a fun time in Cambodia without dancing Khmer-style to loud music? (Unfortunately, we don't have pictures of that. : ) )

For anyone familiar with Mo Willems books', this is a shot from his
upcoming book called "Don't Let the Baby Drive the Bus!" |
And once again, we returned home two days later both refreshed AND exhausted, but looking forward to a chance to do it again next year!
