Remember When. . .

This picture is from my trip to Cambodia in January 2006. That was such an amazing trip and I look forward to being able to return one day. (Maybe on a medical team after I finish my nursing degree!) I can't remember this young girl's name, but we bonded immediately. She walked with us all afternoon while we went door to door testing wells for arsenic. She tried to teach me songs and words and asked me (through the interpreter) to teach her english words. We mainly worked on counting to 10. I am still amazed by her spirit and the light in her eyes. She has an amazing smile (although it doesn't show in the photograph--she was intrigued by the digital camera and laughed hysterically when she saw herself.) Her little sister was scared of the camera, but she peeked through our heads just in time to capture her cute little face in the picture. Sometimes I wonder about her. I wonder if she remembers us. I wonder if she understands why we were there. I wonder if the message we carried touched her heart. Maybe one day I will see her again. Only God knows what is in his plan.
