The Last Supper
We had a wonderful experience the last few days at the annual World Missions Workshop held this year at Harding University in Searcy Arkansas. On Saturday night Monte Cox who had invited to make a presentation this year said as he walked by our table at dinner time that we were almost eating our "Last Supper!" Well it wasn't our last one but he was close!
We met several new friends and were reacquainted with several old ones at the workshop. We made a presentation on the Mekong River Boat Project to about 50 people interested in Cambodia. Sokhom Hun and his family came to the workshop from Dallas Tx. He and his family were their and shared heart wrenching stories of their life in cambodia before they fled to the US. We have grown to love them in a very short time. We met two young couples who are planning on moving to Cambodia in the near future! That is so exciting to us and we will pray for them often as they work out the details. They are Casey and Chris Allison and Andrew and Natalie Hayes. Another couple Jake and Shelly Hendrix, whom we have worked with in the past in Guyana, South America, also expressed an interest in making a survey trip to Cambodia. WOW! God is doing great things in Cambodia. We also found out that the next Asian Forum will probably be held in Seim Reip, Cambodia next year. We look forward to that experience.
Our church family gave us a nice plaque this morning in our last service with them for a long time. The Elders prayed with us and commended us for our future plans. We will miss everyone very much. From 2 to 4 this afternoon, Dr. Kristi Gipe and her staff held a nice going away reception for us. Several hundred past patients and friends came to wish us well and made us feel good. Our children have also been with us the last 3 days and that has been a real blessing.
Well we leave in twenty hours from now and we have not started packing yet, so we will start that tedious process. Pray for us as we take this great step for the Lord tomorrow!

Rich and Gail, we had to be gone over the weekend and we didn't want to miss your reception. We are keeping our three granddaughters while their parents are at a business seminar.
We love you so much and pray for you and the mission work. God bless you both. Myron and Jeanne
