As host parents, C and I had the joy of hosting RM and SN. Their presence added so much to the our family in countless ways. One of the things we like to do is have a mini Vesper before we sleep, where we would share about the day's happenings, learn Khmer (we were required to learn 5 new words each day) and English, close the day in prayer. There was also the nightly arm wrestle between RM and my son J which proved exciting. We could see how much stronger RM got as the weeks went by - thanks mainly to Grandma's fantastic cooking. Both SN and RM put on 4kg over the one month stay with us!
SN spent many nights practising the piano and she has a beautiful voice. That with her bubbly personality makes her an excellent worship leader cum singer. RM is quiet, very intelligent and very unassuming. His birthday was coming up so we decided to have a small celebration for him. Little did we know this was a first for him and we felt so privileged and honored.
When they left, they bought us thoughtful gifts with the money they saved, and wrote us letters that touched our hearts. We are going to miss SN and RM for a long time to come. Even Reena our dog!
Thoughtful gifts! 
Happy host parents !
