Mission to Cambodia 2012<\/strong>
\nfrom Tyler Moser<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>So far Cambodia has been amazing. No words can describe all of the things that we have seen, done, or felt during this crazy trip. For me, Cambodia was an opportunity to travel one last time before graduating college. I have always loved to travel, and when Southeast Asia was mentioned, I was like “Sure, why not? It can’t be that bad, and I love Thai food, so at least the cuisine should be fine.” \u00a0However, \u00a0what Cambodia is, is quite different from what I had imagined or even seen on television, in magazines, etc. The people are truly special, minus the haggling and bartering, I have enjoyed every second of my Asian adventure.<\/p>\n

When I originally signed up to be on this trip I was told that I would be the only guy going, and that there were eleven girls. This obviously brought on mixed emotions that were brought upon by my own insecurities. But actually the ladies have been splendid, and there have been two brothers from the church her that have been hanging out with us for the bulk of the trip. So needless to say I’m not lonely, but I am learning a lot about women. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My highlight has been going to the free hospital and the school that HOPE worldwide has opened here. It is inspiring what some disciples of Christ can do when they put their trust in God, and work hard. I also have done the unforgivable, at least in Susan’s eyes, I rode on a moto. Oh and by the way, going through Cambodian traffic on the back of the moped is exciting, yet crazy. I was sure I was good with my maker before I hoped on the back of one.<\/p>\n

The other posts will detail what we have done so far in our trip, but the main point of my post was to encourage the parents of the girls, and also anyone who reads the blog. Cambodia is an awesome place, our every need is being catered for, not only by Belmont, but also by the people of Cambodia. Their bright smiles and broken English jokes remind me that I am not at home, but in a place that I will never forget. We’ll be home soon. Love you Mom and Dad,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
