On the Trip!

Sawadee Ca, from Thailand! We found a computer that has internet access over here in Pattaya, Thailand. We have 6 more days left until we head home! God has been doing amazing things over here, and will continue it.
I have enjoyed my time over here. The children are so adorable and have such big smiles on their faces as we pass out candy to them! Many of the people from the village churches of Burma, and churches in Thailand; have stolen my heart.
We have been making friendships, and I was able to get some emails from those that spoke some english.
While we were in Burma, I met this girl named Florence; who goes by Fran. Her dad was one of our interpreters. She spoke very good english and was the age of 23 years old! She looked very young, and I was suprised to hear her age. She loves the Lord with all her heart! Fran and I were able to spend a lot of time together talking, and shopping at the Burma market; which was crazy!
I plan on staying in touch with her and hope to see her again! She told me about the persacution she has gone through in keeping her Christian faith in Burma.
It's so very encouraging to see the different churches enter into worship with all of their hearts. They really get into it! It would be nice to see the American churches get into worship with all of their hearts, as we have seen here.
Otherwise; your prayers are working and appreciated!

God Bless you all!

THAILAND!!!


Hello Everyone!!!

Just a quick update! Tomorrow morning, which will be October 14th; we are going to Thailand for 3 weeks! It's going to be a mission's trip and two other families will be going with us. The missionaries, and this family we know from a church we went to. It is going to be so AWESOME! I just know it!
Lookin' for good times and good results! There is a chance that we will be able to visit an AIDS orphanage. Also, we will be visiting small churches in villages; possibly a refugee camp, and places in Burma. The only problem with Burma, is this Monk riot that's been going on within the last couple weeks. We are still unsure if it is safe to cross the border or not? So please pray for safety, and that the borders will be open for us! There are people in Burma who need Jesus!
Also, we will be having some fun times; riding elephants, eating weird foods, shopping at the Night Bazaar, and visiting cool attractions!
We definitely need your prayer! There will be opportunities to minister, teach, and work with kids! A lot of prayer folks! I'm really nervous, but He'll come through.

Hope to share all of the joy, and memories when we return!

Blessings,
