And so It Begins!

We finally arrived into Thailand! After four days of training and almost 2 days of traveling, we are finally here, but there is still a ways to go. Currently we’re in Bangkok and are expected to leave to Phuket today on a 12hr bus ride through Thailand! It may be a long, but as some of you know, I love traveling so I don’t mind at all. I think it’s a bonus to be able to go through the country and see it’s scenic (and maybe not so scenic) views. On the plane on our way to Thailand It has been a week since I have left home, but it seems so much longer. Let...

We Made It!!!

Last night Team Thailand boarded a bus for 12 hours from Bangkok to Phuket.  We arrived this morning about 7:30am.  We made it to the SHE house and will be getting acquainted with the area for the next few days.  So, for the next three days we will not be using electronics.  Just wanted to let everyone know that we arrived and everyone is well.  Thank you for all the prayers and love.

My life is in your hands

Hello friends and family! 24 hours of traveling later (you guys would be proud, I sat in the middle seat, between two strangers on the way to tokyo, for 15 hours and only got up 4 times to pee… impressive? I know) we made it to Bangkok and 12 more hours to go and we'll be Phuket, our final destination. We're taking a 12 hour bus ride through the night tonight, so we'll arrive in Phuket early tomorrow morning. A lot has gone on the past week and a half: sleeping on tarps, worshipping, dancing, laughing, crying, traveling, jet lag, eating amazing thai food… but I feel...

The Beginning Of A New Me

We made it to Thailand!!! I haven't even been gone a week, yet I have learned so much. My team is amazing and I know God has a special plan for us. There are 22 of us all together, and then we have 2 leaders. We all get along so well and each one was put on this team for a reason. God is going to do amazing things in Thailand and will use us as His tools to further His Kingdom. These past few days have been hard on me. I've been missing everyone at home and I had started to question if this was really God's plan for me. I was having doubts about myself and whether I could offer...

Train me in Your ways

           Sawasdeekha friends and family!! Welcome to my first-ever blog post. The adventure has begun! We are alive and well in Bangkok. I am beyond excited to be in  this diverse city!! Training camp was great! It was literally Summer camp, but for college students who love Jesus. Camp was complete with log cabins, wilderness and bunk beds. AIM has challenged and enabled us to go into our distinctive mission fields with confidence.             I love the openess on our team. We have had some awesome...

Speak to Me…

        My Training Camp has been one of the greatest things that I have ever been involved in. I can honestly say that it has completely changed my life. It’s been an amazing way to get to know my team mates and build community between us and learn more about the Lord together. I have learned so much about myself and the adventures I will soon be having. Not to mention we’ve been dancing our butts off!         Spiritually, training camp has taught me that I have a voice and the Lord will use it to minister...
