yun nan trip

I'll be going to yun nan from 16-30th for a (kinda) mission trip. I feel pretty excited about it.

This excitement leads me to wonder about why I didn't feel the same when I went Cambodia 4 years back.
I think the company is pretty important when it comes to mission trips. Being the youngest on the team and having only Jeremy who was of the same age (but at that point in time, a stranger), meant that I wasn't around people I was comfortable with.
It was more than an age thing too, it was one of expectations. The mission team was known to be a pretty hardcore team, focused on missions and thinking of maximizing the time spent rather than dreaming about the period of shopping which almost inevitably concludes mission trips.

Speaking of which, we spent our time visiting places like S21, tuolslang? Even recreation was serious in a way. At any rate, I guess the me 4 years ago was just desiring to have an easier time. This time round, I want it to be tough, to be challenging.
And it will be, so maybe that's where the excitement is coming.

Thinking of which, I turn my gaze to the distant month of December where we will be going to Cambodia.

For now I just pray that God will take away my neckache. hahaha
