Cambodia Blog #2

This is the second post I put on the trip blog in Cambodia. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

Cambodia Blog #1

This is the first post I put on the trip blog in Cambodia. I'd really like to hear what you think.

16 Hours

Hey all,

In about 16 hours, I will be getting in a van and traveling to Chicago. Not that exciting. What's really exciting is that from Chicago, I'll be getting on an airplane and flying to Bangkok, Thailand; then a bus to Cambodia. Am I stoked? Absolutely. I've already talked about this a little bit a couple times, so I won't bore you with my excitement. The point of this post is to give y'all a little more information about the trip. If you follow this link, you can see more information about the organizations and places we'll be going to. There will also be a calendar with prayer requests for each day. If you could be praying for us throughout the trip, that would be great.

Anyways, that's all I've got for now. Catch ya later,
Zac

P.S. Don't forget to check out the trip blog throughout the next three weeks.

Information from me to you

Hello friends,

So, as most of you know, I'll be leaving for Cambodia in a week. While there, we will have intermittent internet. As part of the trip, the whole group (including myself) will be posting on a blog. You can find it here. I might post my own stuff here, too, but I also might not. I might copy my posts from there to here (or vice versa), but I also might not. I can't really say anything for sure on those two fronts. Basically, check out this blog to follow the trip. Here's my first intro post. It's pretty basic, nothing too special; I just thought you might be interested.

Hey all,
This is probably going to read pretty closely to other intro posts, but that's okay, right? 

To say I'm really excited for Cambodia would probably be an understatement. I mean, it's just plain exciting to travel in the first place, but on top of that, I'm certain it's going to be an eye-opening trip, making it all the more special. I'd bet everyone else in the group feels pretty similarly. 

That's something that will be interesting for me though: seeing as I don't attend Calvin College, I know less than five other people going on this trip. I guess all those travel hours can be used for something after all then, eh? At least, if we're not all crazy after 20ish hours of confined travel. 

Something I'm slightly worried about is the food, but it should be more than fine. College has taught me to eat a lot of questionable food, haha. 

Well, I look forward to meeting those who are going on the trip, and I appreciate the thoughts and prayers of those following the blog from the States. 

See y'all in a week,
Zac Baker

Probably more info on my trip to show up here later such as a basic itinerary, "prayer guide," etc.

Merry Christmas
