Thailand Missions (2016) "Game Day" (Day 0)
Sawasdee krub everybody! Today is the day we take flight! I can't believe it, its finally hitting me that I'm about to board a plane in a couple hours and fly over to a foreign country where i will no longer have my sister and my parents for a couple weeks! I'm slightly nervous but it's all good.
So last night as you read from Alisa's blog, that our flights were going be delayed and we might miss a flight from Bangkok to Chiang Rai! Like woah, I never traveled before, so my first time traveling all this stuff is happening already! So I'm pretty scared, heading out towards a big ole typhoon yeah, that wasn't in my schedule... but I know God will be watching out for us and protecting us!
This past week has been pretty crazy, especially last minute changes with us helping out at the Christian Community Center, they want us to plan some activities and games for a span of 5 hours, when I first heard that I was like wow. foreal? Unless we playing ball, I dont know how we can kill 5 hours.. but thankfully our team is creative and smart, so we got that figured out. I'm pretty excited man! Our team seems like we got a bunch of cool people! Can't wait to serve with them! So Yeah! TODAY IS THE DAY! LETS GO! But first I gotta finish packing. Continue to pray for our team! Oh and i believe we meeting at church at 4 in the courtyard! So if y'all get this post in time, come send us off!
Pray for:
Team Unity: (This past Wednesday, our team was there all together for the first time, pretty cool.) Pray that we will be on the same page as everyone else.
The Thai People: Pray that our team will be an encouragement to the Thais that are already christian, and for those who don/t believe to be open to the Holy Spirit.
Safety: (I am terrified of bug bites, when i get bit here in the US they already as big as golf balls! I heard they even bigger out there! Ohh dearr.) Pray that I wouldn't get bitten as much. Heard there is a typhoon out there, so definitely pray for us.
