We have been in Thailand for nearly a
month now. Our time here so far has been filled with excitement, fun,
adventure, encouragement, and thrill over the novelty of our new
home. We have spent the last couple of weeks seeing some of the
sights around Thailand, getting our bearings in the city, and
attending field forum. It has been fun and even refreshing time (I know we
just got here but it has been a blessing to have a time of rest and
encouragement before being thrown into language study).

As I mentioned field forum was a
wonderful time of learning, connecting and relaxing. We had the
privilege of hearing from Gary Friesen about Biblical peacemaking in
seminars and from receiving our nightly devotional time from Boyd Hannold, the head pastor of Princeton Alliance Church. Keith and I were also
so blessed to meet many of the missionaries serving in various
places around Thailand and even in some neighboring countries. It was
so neat to hear of all that God is doing in this area and so
inspiring to us.

Last week we started language study
and we know that this season of our ministry will be filled with many
new emotions and challenges. We are mostly learning tones and the
various different and unique sounds of the Thai language. We are
starting to jump into some basic conversion and vocabulary. Please
continue to pray that God would help us as we seek to learn Thai
well. We would also appreciate your prayers as we look for
opportunities be the light of the gospel in our new community.

We have really felt uplifted during
these last couple weeks. We have seen God's hand working as we have
been so diligently praying that we would find a nanny for Lauren who
would be a good fit for our family. We have been blessed with a
wonderful woman who Lauren likes (which is a huge plus) and who has
been a great fit. Thank you for praying with us for our son and his
care taker. God is good.
