Mission to Cambodia 2012
from Becca Pippin
Welcome to the Land of Smiles
Let me start by saying a traditional Thai massage is the best treatment for a body that has been cooped up on a plane for 30+ hours. A few of us just returned from getting massages down the street from our hotel and we are settling in for the night.
The journey here was long and filled with excitement, nervousness, stinkiness and even some puking, so needless to say we are all pretty worn out. When we arrived, though, we all were re-energized at the sight of Susan’s friends’ smiling faces at the airport.
From there, it was a whirlwind of new sights and experiences to take in:
- The wild traffic and motos
- Our first ride on a tuk-tuk
- Touring the hospital where we will begin working on Monday
- Eating dinner at Java, an American sandwich/salad/pasta café
- Practicing our Khmer with Emily’s iphone app
And exploring the neighborhood around our hotel
We are all so happy to have finally arrived! Please keep us in your prayers as we travel to the beach in Kep tomorrow morning.
We’re glad you arrived safely.
Way to go Becca! Love the photos!
I am so incredibly proud of you. Love you friend!
We are so excited that you made it. It looks like the tuk tuk ride was a great experience based on the smiles on your face. Hope the weekend is fun. Enjoy your time there in service to GOD. Stay safe.
Enjoy the new horizons & the new cultures you’ll encounter. Take good care of yourself.
So glad to get the update. It sounds like each day will be packed full of amazing experiences. All for His glory!!
So happy you all made it safely. Special Hello to Sista Sue. Praying for you all to have a good trip.
I am so happy that you arrived safely–tell us more!
It is great to have pictures. I think you girls are going to learn so much! I will continue to pray for your safety.
Love, Nana
