It’s the wet season here in Cambodia. Most afternoons or evenings it rains but only for an hour or so..and the rain is really heavy. The other day when we were playing football and there was a massive downpour. We’ve never seen rain like it. The sound of the rain hitting the roof of the football centre was deafening.

It was too much for the kids to resist. After we finished playing indoors, they all ran outdoors to continue playing in the rain. The kids had a great time cooling off after a hot and sweaty day of ministry and football. We read before we came to Cambodia that if you embrace the wet season you will enjoy it. It’s pretty hard not to embrace it here….

Although….we soon discovered what an hour of rain typically does to the streets of Phnom Penh. It made for a much slower trip back home, especially after the girls tuk tuk stalled due to water getting into the exhaust. Cameron had to jump out of his tuk tuk and knee deep in water, help the drivers pull their tuk tuks onto higher ground to try to get the water out. We eventually found higher ground and thanks to our tuk tuk driver Dina, were able to find some back streets that weren’t as flooded. We all went out for pizza that night, including our two drivers and Jonothan (Dina’s 6yrs old son) thankful we’d survived the rain and the trip back. It made for quite an exciting adventure!
