There's been a lot that has happened to bring us to this moment. But I can finally say that I am READY to leave for Thailand. Our team will be leaving the base at 2 pm Monday (tomorrow) for the Kalispell airport. About a half hours drive from here. We have a group of nine lead by Terry and Janean Hilliard from Florida. There are 4 guys and three girls - Chad from Idaho, Jon Hanson from Montana, Jon Lundsford from California, and Jason from New Jersey, Emily from North Dakota, Jaala from Colorado, and Myself.
We have a long trip ahead of us. Our flight leaves at 4pm to Salt Lake, from there we fly to San Fransisco, then Taiwan -where we'll say goodbye to team Taiwan, and continue on to Bankok - Thailand. It'll be mid-day Wednesday for us there, but sometime Tuesday for you here..when we arrive. We'll be in Bankok for 3 days for orientation. During this time we will be briefed on the culture, language, etc. Saturday (Friday for you) we will be taking a bus from Bankok and traveling 8 hours north to Chang Rai - where we will be for the next two weeks ministering at the University. After that will be spending two weeks in the hill tribes on the Loas/ Burmese boarder. Then two weeks in Chang Mai working at the smoothie shop run by local YWAM missionaries. After that we will go back to the hill tribes for two more weeks. And then have a little break for about 3 days, to pray about what God would have us do, for the last part of our time there. We could revisit one of the places we've been ministering at, or we could go somewhere else. I will keep you posted.
When I am in Chang Rai and Chang Mai I will have access to a computer, so I will keep in touch then. Thank you all for your prayers and support. Your encouraging words are a comfort to me.
Please know that my love and prayers are with you!!
Love Sincerely,
Joanna
