First thing first - our Masque for a Cause night was a hit! We had around 35 people attend and had a great time transforming our house into a party venue! The ladies were all dressed up to the nines and the guys didn't look too bad either! We sold all items in the silent auction and everyone enjoyed the amazing food and music. We managed to raise about $750 for our trip and the same for our friends Toby and Esme Clarke who co-hosted the event with us.

Ali had surgery on Monday to remove her gallbladder which was full of gallstones. It went really well and she is recovering at home now although is in a bit of pain. James has been making us laugh by following Mummy as she slowly walks around the house holding her stomach and pretending he has a sore tummy too. Such a cutie.

We received amazing news today! We have been allowed to stay at the Riverview Guest House for the entire 6 months we are in Cambodia! This is a total answer of our prayers and is saving us around $4200 as we were budgeting $800/month for accommodation/utilities and we are only being asked to contribute $100/month for utilities at the guest house! Our whole accommodation for 6 months for only $600! Thank you God!
We are just so incredibly blessed by this and with our fundraising efforts we are now at around $3000 out of $8000 raised. We have around 7 individuals/couples who have indicated they would like to support us so we are getting in touch with them this week and hopefully will be much closer to our goal of $8000 by the end of the week! Praise God, Praise God, PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!
