Oct 25, Day 8

Hi all,

I lost a day - not sure I have all of the dates right on the blog (oops). But today is HANK's B-Day!!!

We visited the Angkor Temples - Very Incredible!!! Some of us rode elephants into the temple. Going through the temple gates on an elephant was so amazing. This was the last night with the Deer Park group. We are sad to say farewell. They will email Joleen blog posts and hopefully we can continue to follow their journey.

Some closing comments from Blain Sylvester (he will take the DP group back to Phenom Penh):

After meeting the people we have met on our travels we should take away from this... the faith and availability to stand on the edge and take a risk if called upon to do so. It just so happens that the folks we have met are 70 year old grandmas... we should all take some lessons from that alone!!

I can never figure out what day it is on the other side of the world.... Curtis phoned me yesterday to talk about Dad's birthday... Peter too.... Happy Birthday Dad!

If I am not mistaken this is the first time (if not one of very few) you have been out of the country for your birthday. Say Hi to mom and Dad for me Jo - big hugs for all. I can't wait to see your guys pictures, from the sounds of it they are going to be amazing.

Keep safe.

Justin
