Ready or not, here it comes!

It's unbelievable that I only have a week left until I get on a plane to leave for Thailand! I'm so excited to see what the Thai people are like and what God had planned for the summer. For those who don't know, I'll be staying until July 17th, and I'll be working with a missionary family in eastern Thailand. From what I understand, we'll be doing mostly ESL, along with some gospel distribution and Bible studies. I can't believe God is allowing me to serve Him, especially overseas because I love getting to experience other cultures. It's gonna be incredible to see what great things I know God will do this summer! I'd really appreciate your prayers as I'm over there... Some requests you could pray for are:

~receptivity and understanding of the gospel among the Thai people
~safety of the missionary family, me, and other various volunteers that'll be coming throughout the summer
~clarity when teaching English to Thai people, especially with the language barrier
~spiritual well-being of everyone ministering

I'll try my best to keep the blog updated fairly often because I understand that we'll have Internet access where I'm staying-- but I know I'll be really busy with the mission work, so I won't know until I get there...

Until next time,
Hannah

Just wanted to tell you how excited I am about your going to Asia. Please be sure and sleep just a little before you leave. I know you'll be able to sleep and rest on the plane but...we want you to be awake enough to find the right gate/plane in the various airports!
Love,
Mom
