Quick Update

I realize that I haven't updated everyone on how Mexico went.  I'll get to that soon.  As for now, I'd like to update you on the present-- 9:43 pm on a overcast day in Pittsburgh.  It's actually 4:43, but after my family and I returned from Europe on Thursday afternoon, I stayed on London time (5 hours ahead) so that the change to Thailand's time (12 hours off) is less of a shock.  It's been interesting, waking up at 2 in the morning when my family is still asleep and it's still dark out and going to bed at 6 when my family is eating dinner and it's still light out.  Haha.  But it's been good.

Anyways, I am currently packing for Thailand, as I look forward to leaving tomorrow around 7:30 (Pittsburgh time).  If I did the math correctly and counted in the right time differences, my total time spent on an airplane within these next few days will be 24 and a half hours.  (That time does not include layovers.)

Please keep me in your prayers as, first of all, I am flying alone.  I've flown alone a handful of times, so I should be fine...that is, until I walk into an airport that does not exclusively communicate in English.  Haha.  Also, pray that my time with the team these first few days will go well.  I am going just over two weeks since the four interns got there, so I will be behind, in a sense, on the team bonding that has happened these two weeks.  Finally, there have been a few setbacks and decisions needed to be made here at home and some are still up in the air; however, by up in the air, I mean that I've lifted them up to God and am waiting for His faithful provision.  Pray that I wait patiently. :)

Thanks for the prayers!! I will try to do a better job of updating this blog.

Mexico!

I'm not going to write too much, as it's 11:45 and I leave for the airport at 4:40 tomorrow morning; however, I am going to Mexico and am very excited!  I wasn't really obligated to go because I won't be heading to Thailand for 3 weeks, but I feel like it's the training I need, the bonding with my fellow interns that I want, and the place where God wants me.  So I'm going.  Haha.  I'll make sure to post after the trip, as I'm leaving my laptop at home and am not sure if my iPod will be able to post on here.  Thanks for your prayers!!!
