Day 54, Back in Singapore

     So today we left Cambodia to come back to Singapore. Such a sad day for me. I will admit I cried as the plane was taking of. It was such a rush of emotions, emotions I didn't even realize were inside of me.
    We grabbed breakfast with Meygan downstairs at Alma before saying our goodbyes to her. It was so hard to leave her. I am so proud of her for what she is doing, but am so sad. Not only did we comfort her when we came (as old friends coming see her as she is living her life here in Cambodia as a missionary for the past 5 months), but she comforted us even more. From the first day, she made us feel at home. She cooked for us, took us around town, showed us her favorite spots to eat, movie nights at her house, etc. She is awesome!

     We landed in Singapore, and the first thing we did (so typical of us Americans) was eat at McDonalds! We just went 1 month with no McDonalds! And was it good!!!!!!!

     We took a big van back home, unpacked, and got ourselves situated in our rooms again. Such a busy day! But more than busy, it was emotional. I will forever be connected with Cambodia, it is a country that stole my heart.

• I am sad I will not be riding tuk-tuk's everywhere.
• I am sad San will not be our tuk-tuk driver anymore.
• I am sad I will not see the locals anymore.
• I am sad I will not eat street food from the sketchy looking vendors on the side of the road anymore.
• I am sad I will not shop at our favorite spots anymore.
• I am sad I will not eat at our favorite restaurant (Barn Barn) down the street anymore, we have become regulars and the lady even knows what we order and how we like it.
• And I am even sad I wont smell the stench in the air, the dirty bodies passing me, the unending dust in the air, the chaotic traffic with moto's almost running you over, the shoeless kids walking down the road, etc.

     Some of those sound horrible, but those are truly the things that make Cambodia what it is. The reasons I am so sad to leave. I will forever be connected with this country, whether it be me moving here if the Lord tells me to, or financially supporting missionaries here. I can't wait to see Cambodia saved and on fire for Jesus. It is only a matter of time!

My sad "I don't want to leave" face 

Good bye Cambodia.
