Well I am back from thailand....I cant believe it time went by sooooo fast.. I cant even begin to explain what we did this summer because so much happend.
when we got to Thailand we thought we would be going to a remote village in the middle of no where roughing by not taking showers, no clean clothes, sleeping in tents and teaching english at a local school but that door soon closed and God had a new plan. new one soon opened up we would be staying about 15 minutes outside of chaing mai and teach english at a hilltribe buddist boarding school for grades k-12th named suksasongkro. let me tell you I had no idea how to teach english but it was hard but I was good at it amazingly. It was hard to go to that school and we often asked why god placed us there in the city when we were willing to go and rough it. we were not allowed to talk about jesus or anything about christianity.
all the teachers and students knew that we were christian but they gave us a chance to teach at their school. the school had a past of christians coming to the school and telling the kids that either they accept christ now or you go to hell... so they were scared to let us come to the school and the english teachers fought for us to come to the school and teach english. so the principle was not so excited to let us come to the school but he gave our group a chance and the teachers didnt open up to us at first but soon they did and we began to build relationships with the teachers by asking them how you say things in thai and then soon we were staying later after school getting cooking lessions and learn how to make candles. the kids at the school were so amazing each one of the kids had a different story and a different level of pain. I loved that school so much...I saw God work in that school in way I can never imagine...over 33 kids cam to christ in a place where christ is not excepted and yet God was still present there calling people to his name because of the love he has for us and he is a God that Wants to love and be loved..

It is hard coming home and not feel Gods presence like I did in Thailand, I have found it harder But I know he is here becasue of the Growth he did in my life this summer.......I love Jesus and my life yearns for Jesus I want to burn with passin for the lost of this world so that they can come to know the Jesus that I serve and Love so much..One thing that I am challenged with is being willing to tell people about Jesus at home because they NEED him......and I Am not going to keep silent...I pray that God puts me into those situations that I have to share Jesus with people..I no longer want to stay in my comfort zone and be with only my christian bubble..... I yearn to tell people about Jesus...........why stay in your comfort zone?? and keep the truth that I hold to myself....why should anyone???????? NO ONE SHOULD..........

I experienced and saw God in such a way that only you can on a missions trip.......I cant explain how God broke my heart for the Thai people........I saw and felt how God feels for the lost.....

In two years my hope is to go back again for 2 months and by Gods grace I will be able to go back!!for now I must wait and pray for what Gods will in my life is now!!

Sometimes in life you have to go through a little hell in order relize what you wanna do when you get older. cause honestly how would I know I want to work with prostitutes unless I have gone through what I have gone through....

but when you have been through the fire all thing work out good and you in the end up being blessed more than you could imagine..... I mean when charlie came to live with us never knew the responsibilty it is to have a child and what CPS was all about haveing social workers visiting your house wondering and not know what would happen, I now know why God gives people 9 months to prepair for a child because mentally you need that time.... believe me, I only knew for 9 minutes thats charlie would come to live with us and I was no where ready but to tell you the truth he is the biggest blessing that God has givin my family in a long time and I thank God for him everyday... he is my night and day and I cant wait to see him again......... It has almost been one year since the adoption date and he has grown I hope that one day charlie would be able to share his testimony because it is going to be a good one that can help young people who have been through foster care.... I pray that he can become something in life and overcome the family addictions to drugs and alchoohol.

and now my parents want to adopt another baby and that baby's life could change forever.......

Thailand is coming up in three weeks I cant believe it........it is sooo crazy how time goes by so fast and how God continues to keep providing all the money that I need to go to thailand..
You would never think a 17 year old could raise as much money as a have.... But yet I have and it is all because God is amazing and has blessed me with friends and family that are soooo genorous and kind...
So basicly I am prepairing to go for two months, I will be working with gosple for aisa working in a remote village helping out with a new church plant. Some days I may find myself teaching english others I may find myself in the rice fields or going to temples doing temple ministry...I am excited but at the same time scared. But my time has come to go and spead the good news to countrys like Thailand..... hopefully I will be able to go back one day and work with Thai childen who are prostitutes.... I believe that it is a dream that God has given me............

Prayer request:
~ all my money needs will come in
~school work ont be sooo bad and I can do it
~pray for all the Thai people that they will be open to hearing about the one true God
~ Pray for the the team that I am going that we will bond and will be able to amazing work to help glorify Gods kingdom
~pray that I can be open to the Thai culture and not go into complete culture shock when I get to thailand and when I get home august 5
~ gods love will be pouring into thailand changing the lifes of thai people forever!!!!

I love these guys!! we rock.....this picture may be blury but it is the people in the picture that count we always find something crazy to do..I sometimes dont know what I would do without them!!!





3-6-OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH for life!!!
