Houston, we have a count down!

In less than 24 hours, I will be boarding a plane for Chiang Mai Thailand, my home for the next ten weeks! It's so hard to believe! It seems like just yesterday, I walked into my missions class for the first time, talking with my team about how Thailand seemed so far away and that I didn't know how I was going wait and go through a whole semester with the anticipation of our trip. Where did the time go?! It feels so surreal that it's already here! I could not be happier! 

It has been crazy getting ready to leave the country for the first time, but God is SO faithful guys! In the nine short days I had after getting back from school, God made a way for me to get a dentist, doctor, and eye doctor appointment all within four days of each other! There were cancellations at each of our different doctors that allowed me to get in with short notice. I was even fitted for contacts and after trying them out for the first time, was able to get a follow up appointment on the same day! It's not that bad sticking my finger on my eyeball. :) I ordered enough for 11 weeks and they already arrived by mail! WOW! God provided sales and discounts that I wasn't expecting at different stores for most of my big purchases and He also has provided some last minute funding that has helped me immensely! This past week and a half has been a whirlwind, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Today was spent running my last few errands, cleaning my room, purchasing some last minute things for the children at Agape Home, and hanging out with my siblings.  

I also checked the weather in Chiang Mai and it's supposed to be raining for the next ten days! Rain poncho, here I come! Tomorrow, I leave IAH at 12:55pm, boarding a flight for Dallas. At DFW airport, I meet up with my team (YAY!) where we will board another flight for London. After a 8 hour layover in London, we hop on yet another flight heading to Bangkok Thailand! From Bangkok we will board our final flight... detestation Chiang Mai Thailand!! There will be several other World Wide Witness teams on our fight out of Dallas, heading to their different destinations, so please keep us in your prayers as we travel!
