Friends and Family! 

Happy Thanksgiving from Cambodia! My squad has split up into our 6 teams for 4 weeks doing different ministries in different parts of Cambodia. My team is currently in Kampong Thom working as school teachers! I am now “Teacha Anna”!!! We are loving our ministry and I can’t wait to tell you all about it in a different blog! I wanted to share some things that I am thankful for right now that are unique to being on the race. I also wanted to share some things that I have grown increasingly aware of that are a blessing of living where we live.
