It's come round quickly. I leave two weeks today. This will probably be my last post before I actually get to Cambodia. I have one day to burn in Bangkok on the way over which is nice I will probably just wonder round and see the sights. I think I'll be so eager to get to Cambodia that I wont take much of Bangkok in.
Im a little worried about flying on my own, It's not so much the flying It's all the in between stuff like checking in on time and customs (I dont want anyone to find my drug stash). Plus It's going to mean lots of people speaking in lots of languages that I have never heard before or have any hope of understanding... It took me long enough to grasp the english language.
If you have read any of these posts please leave some comments. As long as you dont analyse my writing techniques too much or correct any spelling mistakes It would be nice to hear from you.

Martyrdom
Liz gave me a 'Jim Elliot' style leather bound dairy for the trip saying...'this looks like something Jim Elliot would have written in'...it does.
Which got us on the subject of martyrdom.
Tom Shaw recently said he didnt think it would be too long before new frontiers has a martyr in one of their churches worldwide.
Joe and I had an argument about who was more likely to get martyred, me or him. sounds rather morbid unless you understand the context and our sense of humor.
something to think about.....
Rough Guide says this...
'Islam is the most widespread of Cambodias minority faiths...christianity, introduced by various missionary groups, has failed to make much impact'
With this in view building a New Testament church in the heart of a country, with less than 1% of the population christian, becomes suddenly a more exciting thing to do.

Newday
NEWDAY,
What a week...glad it has come to an end, but it was a really equipping time. I felt a fresh commission and faith for the trip.
I have jabs (in my arse) booked for tomorow. This should be a barrel of laughs.
I nearly have everything I need for my trip now, Im still trusting in God to provide some more money. It has been good to see how God has provided so far.
