Here at last!

Thailand is so amazing and my semester is going to be soooo different and good! It is hot and covered in pretty plants that I love to name and I will learn about all the ones I don't know yet :) Whahahaha, my botany vocabulary is going to grow even more, much to some of your horror. It is a beautiful country with weird food, gorgeous people and a lot of life. The trip here was horrendous, but other than that, my first 5 hours here have been great! lol.

I have such a peace and joy and love KNOWING that I am supposed to be here. my group is made up of such nice people who are also anxious to learn and be open, it is nice to be around them. Reminds me of my x-c team. After living the longest night of my life ( about 19hours of darkness) I am up at 3:15pm here, which is 12:15am your time.... just know I am a yittle tiyord (little tired, for those of you who can't read baby talk)
Right now I am so happy and super excited!
Prayer requests: please pray for my peace to continue and give praise for all He has provided for me already. Classes start tomorrow, and I have no idea what to expect, but I am sure I won't be eaten by the prof or anything terrible like that.

  1. Thanks for the update regarding your safe journey. I'll cease fasting now and start gorging again. While you sweat, I hit the roads clad only in stretchy pants while freezing my fingers to the handlebars. I appreciate that you threw in the baby talk, reminding us of your birth position in la familia.

    I'm so proud of you,
    Fajah

  3. I can't believe you are there! Did you travel with anyone on the way over, or go solo? If you went solo, you are a brave soul. I can't wait to hear about everything. Get some sleep!
