Ever since I first started coming to Cambodia 8 years ago, God has placed a special people in my life that has become my family away from home. God knew how important family is to me and so he brought a special family into my life to be my Grandma and Grandpa, my mom and dad. My parents were very excited to get to meet these people! They got to meet Pastor Keypun, who we call Lotah, which means grandpa, and his wife and daughter, Rachena, who has also been an important part of my life. We spent an evening together and it was extremely special to hear Lotah's family history and how rooted he and his wife have been in doing the Lord's work. At an early age he became an orphan, but was then raised by missionaries, one of whom was the very first missionary to Cambodia--he was with the CMA church! (He is pictured in the middle photo.) It was really special for my parents to be able to express their gratitude for embracing me and taking me in as family. As we talked both sides of the table were filled with tears of joy and tears of love.
