Hey everyone! Well, this will probably be my last post before we leave for outreach. Life has been going pretty good. We had our last week of lecture this week. Our speaker for the week was Ken Lentz. He spoke on motivational gifts. We did a bunch of tests, and they are supposed to have given us a good representation of what are main motivational gifts are. Personally, my top three in order are Teaching, Serving, Giving. I didn't agree with it at first, but after a few days of other people telling me that they agree with it and showing me examples, i think that the test turned out pretty accurate. So yah, the week went really good. We leave on Monday the 1st for Thailand. We'll be flying from Montrose to Denver, Denver to San Francisco, San Fran to Tokyo, Tokyo to Bangkok. We'll be taking a 12-hour bus ride from Bangkok to Chaing Rai where we'll be working for the first two weeks. I'm not sure what city we'll be working in after that, but it'll be in an orphanage. We'll be in Thailand for six weeks, we'll come back to the base for a couple days, and then we'll go to Navajo land in Arizona and New Mexico for 4 weeks. I'll very much appreciate all your prayers, and i'll do my best to post on here sometime while i'm overseas. I love you all, and i can't wait to get back to see you all!!!

We're not sure what our course of action is at this point. If something's not changed by tomorrow afternoon, David, Gay-Lynn, Charity, and Lindsey are going to have a meeting to decide what to do. We could end up switching our outreaches around and go to Navajo Land first and Thailand second.
