Sunday morning was a delight as we joined the Battambang homes for church services. All the home participate in the service which is awesome. Savorn spoke since he drove up for the weekend.
Afterwards Zac jumped up to the drums and the kids gathered around as he played. Back to Grace Place we went for last minute massages and hugs from the kids.

We finally had to begin the process of saying goodbye. And believe me when I say process. It only took 1/2 an hour this time to tear ourselves away from the crying children. This is the most difficult part of the trip for us because your heart just breaks and wants to stay and love on these kids some more. It would be easier to never come, some may say. A part of you is left behind, ripped out of your chest. You are never again the same. But it is more than worth it. "At least we have more children to look forward to," says my kids. "It makes leaving a little bit easier."
We drove back to Phnom Penh, rode around in a tuk tuk with Pkeakdey, had pizza down by the river, started to pack for our trip tomorrow to Thailand. Tomorrow we see Faa and the GROW children and Tutu. And now, I say goodnight!
