Hello everyone,

   Sorry for the long interval since the last post.  We truly have not had a minute free before now.  We were all sad to leave Cambodia yesterday, but had an uneventful flight to Hong Kong.  We took the tram to the top of Victoria Peak this morning, then the ferry across the harbor to the shopping districts.  We walked about 2.5 km to the Chinese market, which the kids love (they are quite the bargainers)!! We brought the subway back to the hotel and everyone except me has hit the pool for a swim.  We counted all the forms of transportation we've used this week and it includes airplanes, ferry boats, trains, cars, trucks, tuk-tuks, motos, and even an ox-cart, I think! Hong Kong is so different from Cambodia!  

   Tomorrow is our big de-briefing day, so please pray for good reflective time individually and as a group.  Also pray about the weather here... right now we're under a typhoon warning and the rain has been coming down off and on all day (but not enough to deter the shoppers :-).  We would like a break in the weather tomorrow as we have to take another ferry to the island where the Christian guesthouse is located.  We will spend our last night there before leaving for home at 9:30 Monday morning.  Parents, we thank you so much for allowing your kids to join us in this adventure.  We have seen good things happening, and are confident that spiritual growth will continue long into the future.  We are looking forward to seeing you on Monday!   Patty
