12 Days and Counting

We leave in 12 days. It's hard to believe it's finally getting so close. It has been amazing to watch the Lord at work to make all this happen. Praise to Him in His provisions, both large and small. So many of you have been His instruments in allowing us to go be a part of His work in Thailand. Thank you!!! We are going with full support to cover our basic needs. God is good and so are all of you. We so appreciate your financial, prayer and emotional support.

God is continuing to work out the details. It looks like we'll be taking little Lacey, our dog. Things have been working out to take her and nothing has worked out for leaving her here. I still need to get in contact with the Bangkok airport, which has been problematic. Please pray for us as she will be in the cabin with us on 19 hours worth of flying and two layovers!

Praise God I finally found someone at AT&T who could help me figure out how to get out of the second year of our contract without $460 in penalty fees. We just have to prove we live overseas and we will be forgive those fees. They've made me a loyal customer!

Our house here is rented to missionaries from Honduras. In return for cheaper rent, we are using our garage to store our stuff, including the car that Dan loves. They seem like a great family and it's a good fit for all. Please pray that they'll stay for the full year.

















We have a mostly furnished house waiting for us in Chiang Rai. It has three bedrooms, but no air conditioning.








Our car was rebuilt by the school auto shop. It looks pretty cute. It's a stick shift and we drive on the left side. Could be interesting!
