Coming Home

I'm not sure if anybody is even reading this anymore, but I am in the short countdown of hours until I must leave Brisbane and start slowly making my way back home. We actually have to fly back to Thailand before we go to the States (unfortunately not back to Chiang Mai), so it will be a very long trip. I'll be arriving in Houston early on Saturday morning. My heart and mind is in a whirlwind of emotions as I have to leave people that I love on this side of the world. I'll definitely be leaving a big piece of my heart in both of these places!

This summer in Chiang Mai and Brisbane has been an incredible blessing to me, and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you when I see you again. I'll be reporting on my trip to my wonderful home congregation on the Sunday after I return, and I am very much looking forward to sharing with them what God is doing in other places around the globe.

I can't even wrap my mind around all that I've learned and experienced this summer. I know that God will continue to teach me through this even long after I've returned to the States. I must thank you, people who have loved and supported me, for all that you've done for me and been for me while I've been away. I hope to be able to see you and thank you in person very soon!

May the Lord bless you today.

Back in Brisbane

Just wanted to quickly update that Katie and I made it to Brisbane yesterday afternoon. It has been such a blessing to see a lot of people again and catch up. Hope to catch a few minutes to post later about everything.

I'll be back in Texas on August 16 after two weeks here in Australia. Thank you for all of your prayers and keep them coming as my summer wraps up!
