Thailand Update

Alright...so, there's not tons more that I can say about what we are doing or when we are going, but there's lots and lots you guys could pray about.

We still do not have our visas. There is something that needs to happen on the side of the organization that is our umbrella while we are in language school before we can even apply. Basically, at this point we are trusting God for the timing of our departure because this is totally out of our control. We could be leaving later than the end of January, or perhaps that won't change.

Also, we do not know where in Thailand we are going to be doing language school. They are still trying to decide if we will be in Chiang Mai (North Thailand) or in Lop Buri (Central Thailand). Pray for discernment on the side of the organization in Thailand we will be working with.

Phil (Bob and Christina's 16 year old son) is still having seizures. They started about 6 months ago, and he has been having them consistently since. The doctors are saying that they are brought on by stress. After that diagnosis he went one day shy of a month seizure free, and then had 2 back to back. Please pray for him...and for Bob and Chris as they sort out what to do. I reckon this will also affect our departure date, because ultimately we would really like all our members to be somewhat healthy before we go.

I have a final on Thursday and then have to pack up all my belongings and begin the long journey back to Alberta on Sunday. It has been such a fruitful time for me here in Abbotsford, making connections, spending time with good friends, and getting to know my team members better. It's weird that this season is already over. 3 1/2 months come and gone!!!

Anyway, some of you I must say goodbye to, and others I will see shortly...
