Today starts the eleven day whirlwind adventure that is the 2009 Thailand mission trip. The six of us left this morning and are currently in the air between Anchorage and Seattle. Hopefully, there will be consistent wifi access along the trip. Seattle doesn’t have free wifi, the jerks, but hopefully Tokyo will and there will be an update posted. Then we’ll be in Bangkok for the first day before heading down to the resort where the retreat is being held at. If there’s accessible wifi in Bangkok and at the resort, there’ll be updates a plenty. At least once a day with videos, pictures, and words about all of the stuff that is going to be happening.

To keep up with everything that’s going on, check back here, my Flickr, or follow my Twitter updates.

Come on this adventure with me!

In less than two months I will be on a plane, (well, hopefully I’ll be on three separate planes if everything goes according to plan), on my way to Thailand to help with child care for a missionary retreat held in southern Thailand. On February 11, the team I’m traveling with will go from Alaska in February

to Thailand

I can’t even put into words how excited I am to go out in this way and serve in another country and see what God is doing in a different part of the world, and to also see what God is going to do in my life and the lives of those on the team going. God has just opened doors over the last year to stretch and teach me more about himself and life; and I believe that this is part of that teaching as He has just opened the door for me to be able to go on this trip.

Get ready to see more posts about the Thailand trip as it draws near and my excitement for it continuously spills over to the blog.

It’s already less than two months away!

This picture is from the first meeting of a team from our church that is going to Thailand for 11 days in February. The reason that the six of us are going is to provide childcare at a retreat for Covenant missionaries serving in Asia.

I first found out about this trip in May when Autumn asked if it was something I’d be interested in. And before she even finished fully asking me I said that I wanted to go. This trip is going to be so amazing on several different levels. It’s a chance to go out and serve those who are literally on the front lines serving. It’s a chance to travel overseas and experience what life is like in a different culture. And it’s a chance to develop a stronger relationship with the people who are going, some who I know well, some who I don’t know at all.

I’m excited for what God is going to do in those days of travel and when we’re actually in Thailand and I would greatly appreciate your prayers as we prepare and eventually embark on our trip.

It’s less than 90 days away!
