So, my trip is winding down... Crazy to believe that I've already been here almost 5 weeks. It certainly doesn't feel like that long, but at the same time, it feels like I've been here for much longer! Time plays tricks on the mind... Anyways, I'm starting to say goodbye to some people here in Khon Kaen since I am leaving Sunday morning before church. Wednesday was the last soccer clinic with the kids, and it went well.
I have two full days left in Khon Kaen and then I will head off to Bangkok Sunday, and then leave Bangkok early monday morning. In Bangkok, I'm hoping to see most of the people that I spent my first week in Thailand with. Looking forward to hanging out with them again!
Today was a really chill day. I stayed at the house for most of the day, ate lunch out with Pi Blaa (Christian lady who owns a bookstore here) and then went to the church for the Thai Summer Project kick off. Thai summer project is where some of the college students involved in Campus Outreach here come together for a month and do bible classes, fellowship with each other and work in the Khon Kaen area. Its the equivalent of what Campus Outreach calls "Summer Beach Project" in the states.
Tomorrow, I'm looking forward to having a day of prayer. From 8-2 or so, I'm going out with Katie Hamlett and we will just be reading the word, praying, journaling. I'm excited about just spending a big chunk of time with the Lord and having a lot of journaling time (which I always seem to be lacking) I've gone through 3 pens already while here just from running out of ink!
I'll try to write at least one more time before I leave. God has been so faithful this trip to teach me. I pray that it will stick and that I'll be able to apply the lessons into practical steps back home. Thank you for your prayers!
