Getting Ready for Mission Trip to Cambodia

Let me introduce you to Paa and Lee (the two girls in the cooking picture)

Paa and Lee are about to graduate from uni this year. In under two weeks 17th March the three of us will go to Cambodia. Spending time with and working with missionaries in Cambodia. This is the first time for the girls to be involved in missions overseas, so very exciting. Our programme hasn't been finalised as yet but will potentially include - teaching Thai (i might opt out of this!!) Helping with Sunday school, and Youth Programmes.

So making preparations - 1 getting our hair cut - as we're trying to save money one of the students is doing it for free

2 making cookies that the girls will take to the market and sell

Pray

- This is my first time to take anyone else on a mission trip I am seen as the leader - as I'm the oldest!! and they also say the most beautiful - ha ha

- Pray for our adjustments to Cambodian culture this will be the girls first experience of living in another country, I'm told that when Thai's go to another country they really miss their food (so i've some mama noodles packed - like pot noodles - don't think it's something I will miss but i'm told the girls will!) I'm personally looking forward to having bread for breakfast : )

- Language - they speak Thai fulently I speak English fluently (well i used too - I'm going through a real phase of forgetting English words at the moment, it's no that I can think of the Thai I can't think of anything!!) That this wouldn't cause unecessary stress and strain - especially when we are tired

- Faith- Cambodia isn't very far away, but it still costs money to travel and live there. Supprisingly food costs more in Cambodia than Thailand. The money we need to a westerner doesn't seem like very much but for a Thai student it's a lot of money. May they be amazed at God's provision.

- And above all that God will be glorified. That we all would be stretched and challenged : )
