How do i catch all of you up on the last month! So much has happened. Sorry that I slacked off so badly, but I got busier and busier and now I am way behind, but I will try give you guys an overview.
First, I left Cambodia to go back to T-land for few weeks. i stayed with a local Thai family I met in Pai, thailand on New Years eve. It great to see first hand their lives and the business they run of selling Gems on e-bay. that's right I have friends in the gem business! I stayed for a week and got way spoiled by them the whole time; talk about hospitality! Also, got to go to Gem market and see where it all goes down. Then it off to Ko chang a island off coast of T-land. i lived their for week in grass hut and road a motocycle all over the island, which great because it mostly a national park and beutiful. Then I went to Ko Samet another national park island and just hung out and relaxed. Then I headed to see my buddy grant knisely for 5 days in Singapore 'the America of Asia'. It so great to hang out with an old buddy and catch up and see the ministry that he been doing for the last 3 years.
Now I am in Africa! I flew into Kenya and was overwhelmed at how tall and big everyone was! I guess I got use to always being the biggest person around. I got to hang out in Kenya for 4 days and went to beach, but rained the whole time i was there, but still beutiful. Finally, I crossed the boarder to Uganda and started to see the country that be my home for next three months. My first night in Kampalaa the house I was staying at was robbed. Luckly all our personal belonging were in our rooms and they just took our breakfast/all our food and all our lanters and anything else they thought they could make little dinero on. Next day I got to meet all the orphanes I get to hang out with and man oh man are they cute.
Man I wish I had more time on this internet, but that all time i got. I will try to drop a line in a bit

Hi Phillip,
I thought I had posted some time ago, but do not see it here. It's good to hear you are well and now in Uganda. We are looking forward to hearing more of your experience there, and seeing a few pics when you get the chance.

In the mean time enjoy and stay in touch as much as you can.

Dad and Kathleen
