One Last Visitor

 
We have had the privilege to host many family and friends here in Cambodia.  We have had each of our families come, and a handful of some of our closet friends.  There is nothing as special as showing your life to those you love, and we feel honored that we have gotten to do it so often.

For the past week Kim and Taylor Nelson have been hitting Phnom Penh by storm.  They arrived here over a three day holiday so we have enjoyed being able to take them to the markets, eat at our favorite places, and see our everyday life and work.

Since we are only weeks away from moving, they also have been helping us in getting all our last minute errands run.  They helped us shop for last buys in our favorite markets, and even carried loads of our stuff on the back of the moto as we head to the next errand.

It has been so fun to have them here and really just join us in life.  We went on our last bike ride in the open space behind Logos and they joined in with big smiles, as we rode past these small villages for the last time in the blazing hot heat.  They even had the courage to go on a morning run with us despite the 100+ temps.

But more than anything we feel blessed to once again sit at the dinner table with them and share stories of the past year(s), and hear what is next for them and us.

We will drop the Nelsons off at the airport tonight, but after that the next time we will go to Pochentong airport will be for our final flight out of Cambodia...
