Last week in the States

One week from today, I will be heading off for Thailand. It's nerve-wracking and exciting...and I still need to pack. Yesterday, I started going through all of my paperwork to decide what I want to bring with me when I leave. It's still a bit hard to believe that I will have my own class in just a few weeks. And even harder to wrap my head around the fact that I won't be able to speak the native language of my students. I am about to become a minority foreigner for the first time in my life. Every other time I traveled overseas, I was able to blend in with everyone else. This time, I will stick out as a foreigner by my looks alone...and the fact that I can so far only say "hello" in Thai! Well, off to my last church service at Valley Springs. I'll miss my church home, but I'm excited to discover what God has in store for me!
