Pictures from Christina's Scrapbook

Christina was an honored participant in a Cambodian wedding ceremony.



Here she's holding gifts for the wedding guests.



This picture includes Christina with the team along with Roath and Michelle.



And this is the bride and groom.



Christina is carrying the bride's dress as they walked around the center piece about 5 times. She wrote, "I kept praying that I would not fall as I was wearing shoes that had a heel on them! It was one of the most difficult things I had to do."



Christina is standing with the other two bridesmaids. During a traditional wedding ceremony, the bridal party changes clothes many many times.



In January, Christina traveled to Myanmar for 2 weeks. She visited her close friend Eden. Christina wrote, "I asked Eden to order for me. She came back and gave me a dish with pig's heart, tongue, ears, intestines, and liver. It was a very interesting meal."



This picture was also taken in Myanmar. Christina was attending a Buddhist nun.



This is the whole team in Myanmar.



Christina wrote, "We asked the driver if he would mind stopping so I could take a picture. As I was standing on the wheel, I realized that this is not the smartest thing to do as I could get really hurt if the cows moved. Fortunately, they stayed real still for me. I thanked the driver and gave him a tip for being so kind. He was very happy and thanked me."



"This picture is me at Bagan. Bagan is a town in Myanmar that is famous for having 2,000 Buddhist temples that were built in 1100-1200 A.D. It is an absolutely incredible site to look out on the horizon and see so many temples. I have seen many temples throughout my travels but this time was different. I was in one temple looking at a Buddha god and watching the people bow down to it. I began to think of the people I know in Cambodia who are not Christians. I felt their bondage to this religion and I began to feel the evil powers at work. I know this is hard for some of you to imagine living in America but it is very real here. I had to get out of the temple immediately. Fortunately, I had my ipod with me and as I walked back to the van, I listened to some Christian music. As I sat in the van, I began to weep for the people. Please remember to pray for these people. It is so dark in this part of the world with very little light. Please pray for the light of Jesus Christ to grow."



Christina wrote, "This is our team with some Buddhist monks. It was the first time we had a medical clinic in a Buddhist monastery. This was in a village that was hit very hard by cyclone Nargis. There were still lots of human bones behind the monastery as they did not know what to do with them. The people had a look of shock still on their faces as many had lost several family members and friends. Please remember to pray for them."
