I don’t have much time, nor much Internet (see this comment), but I’ll let you know what’s going on.

Tomorrow the team from Coast is coming. We’re definitely excited about this, though Sean and I have both discovered a kind of irrational introvert fear to the idea of 25 people we haven’t seen in a couple of months coming over. But then everytime we think of specific individuals, the fear goes away and we’re excited again. So I’m sure it’ll be good.

In a couple of days, we’ll be going to Laos with the team. Pray for all of us. Laos doesn’t like missionaries.

For the few days that we will be in Chiang Mai with the team, we’ll be going to Im Jai with them (or rather, they with us). We’re not sure what all those people are going to do with all those kids, but hopefully the kids will enjoy it and their schedule won’t be disrupted too much :-)

Then, at the end of the month, Cindy and Sean and I leave for Bangkok and from there to Hawaii with my family for two weeks. We’re definitely looking forward to this. Pray that we won’t forget all the Thai we’ve learned (i.e. that we’re willing and able to practice).

Hopefully in Hawaii I’ll have a better Internet connection (or at least afterwards) and I can upload some of these pictures I’ve been sitting on along with whatever gets taken in the next couple of weeks. Pray for God’s will to be done and God’s voice to be heard - both for us and for all those who are coming (as I know many of them are coming seeking God’s will for their lives, just as we did a year ago).
