It's hard to believe Cambree has been gone almost 3 months! She has been in the Philippines for most of that time, but she is now in a new country for a month doing ministry there. I'll do the best I can on captioning some of these, but enjoy a glimpse of her life in Southeast Asia!
Heading to church!
Now that Cam has her phone full-time, we get updates from her almost every morning and evening!
She spends a LOT of time with Jesus!
She said phone charms are very in where they are, so she went with a friend to buy one!
Kids adore her :)
She is living in a guesthouse at a college in her new country. She went and bought a blanket and a stuffed elephant to make it more cozy! :)

Love our FaceTime calls!
They almost missed their connecting flight, but thankfully an airport employee walked them through high security to make their flight!

Scavenger hunt with her team
They had a sweet party for Cam on her 18th birthday!
Wish I could touch her!!
From August - November, Cambree was put on a team of 3 that were assigned to Tungcaling Southern Baptist Church in the Philippines. They spent the night in the church for 2 nights, having very late night "lock ins" every Saturday night with the youth girls. So much discipleship and evangelism happened, and Cam made friends for life!
Cam's team on a hike in Camiguin Island
Finally getting to see the ocean - the Bohol Sea!
On Camiguin Island, the team went into schools and did Gospel presentations through skits and music!
Cam taught children's Sunday School every Sunday at Tungcaling SBC
On their last Sunday, the church had a going away party for them - Cam cried and cried!
They presented them with these shirts that are like a church directory! Every church member's face is on the shirt! They said, "We know you will forget our names, but we don't want you to forget our faces!"
Cakes to say goodbye!
Cam was probably the closest to Ashley, the 16 year old girl she stayed with on the weekends.
Going out to eat on their last Sunday at Tungcaling!
