Logos High School Service Camp

Last week Chris helped lead the annual service camp for the Logos 11th and 12th graders.  It's a time when the older students take a week to serve in the country they live in.  This year they stayed at a camp that specializes in hosting youth teams and helping provide service to the communities near them.  This year they worked at a local Primary school and helped paint the school, plant a new garden that will allow for them to grow vegetbables to eat for school lunch, and also lay a foundation for a new building.

 Chris is the 12th grade homeroom teacher, so this is a good time to connect with students while they work through the day.  Each leader also leads a devotion at night, and spends time with the kids in the evening.  It is a week of work that is enjoyable because it is a change in the routine, but can be tiring due to the amount of work and all the logistics to figure out.

 But at the end of the week he was a champ, and the students loved their time with Chris.

 I spent the week holding down the fort and working here in Phnom Penh.  I also took advantage of the week by spending some time with some of my friends here.  I had dinners out and at friend's houses and even watched the Superbowl (photo below).  I am not one to take a lot of alone time so the week was actally very good to have some peace and quite in what is normally a very loud life (not due to Chris but because of the city we live in...though sometimes him:)

I also threw a baby shower for a friend, Kristy, which was a fun afternoon for everyone.  We played the classic baby shower games and enjoyed yummy yummy food, that is a special treat to everyone.  Below are some photos of everyone's reaction to the "Baby Food Taste Test" game, and one of me and Kristy.

Tomorrow he leaves again to go to China for a 4 day conference on teaching AP classes at International schools.  Logos is sending him and we are both very excited for this opportunity for him.  The day before he returns we also will have two friends coming to visit!  Kimmy and Jesse Bean arrive on Sunday and I will be their solo tour guide until Chris returns.  So much in February, but we are thankful everything is a "get to" and not a "have to."
