Church@Andaut
It was still not an easy road to Andaut....especially as it had gotten wetter from the rains. It took 45mins in our faithful yellow bus just to get to this ditch. (It did finally get pass the obstacle, but eventually succumbed to a lube leak when we were at O Ta Saeng.
We finally decided to walk the remaining few hundreds to the church at Andaut.
They had been waiting since early morning for us. And it was such joy to see them with Bibles and songbooks. Not all could read though; many were still illiterate. Socka started them going, Josephine led them through some chorus, and Ps Peter shared with them from Psalm 73.
From left to right: Saran, Ps Peter, Esther, Socka, Khiem, Josephine, Samuel, Lily. The new church building in the background.

Boeung Rial - Light of Life School
The rains haven't been particularly impressive this year apparently, and the flood plains haven't flooded as well as it should. Boeung Rial hasn't been able to relocate to their usual deployment site this time of year.
The access to the village has also been tricky. Too marshy to go by car, but too dry to go by boat. So we made the journey by motorbike, through mostly reasonably dry dirt tracks, but negotiating through some tricky stretches of 0.3m-deep muddy pools. From Boeung Rial we were able to take the usual long boats to the floating school.

Forget the F1.... this is way better!
Note the bike coming through the muddy pools at the back? That's Chern Chern bringing up the rear of the convoy. In front from left is Ps Samreth, Ps Peter and my rider Kimsour (also the pastoral assistant for BoeungRial). He travels this same challenging route every week to minister to the village.
