From the 19th floor...a scene from downtown Bangkok

This Wednesday we'll be boarding a plane bound for Bangkok, Thailand (well...we'll be boarding a plane bound for Seoul, Korea, where we'll catch another plane which will be bound for Bangkok, and technically, we'll board that plane on Thursday).  We've had a great year and a dream of a time with support-raising.

Case in point, we just sent out a prayer request for the remainder of our funds, and about a third of it was pledged or donated within the following 5-6 hours.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all of you who prayed or gave!

So what do our next few weeks look like?   Well, we will spend the next few days very busily packing, visiting with friends and family, and finishing up last minute details.  We'll arrive in Bangkok at about 9:30pm on Thursday, go to sleep, and wake up early the next morning to go apply for a Visa to leave and reenter the country.  The next Tuesday we fly to Malaysia for the MTW Area Retreat to spend about 5-6 days with MTW missionaries from all over Asia, then return to Bangkok on the 18th of October.  From there, we start looking for a place to live, line up our spots at language school for November, and begin to settle in to Thai life.

Keep praying as we go through a time of great transition, and let us know how we can pray for you!
