We have now been in Thailand for 4 weeks! Outreach is already half way over. Our time has gone by so fast!
These past couple weeks have had a few endings and beginnings.
First we celebrated the new year by setting off floating lanterns! That was so cool! I felt a little like I was in the movie Tangled! It was a perfect way to end the year and start 2015!
Then Saturday was our last day at Lighthouse in Action (the ministry we were working with in Chiang Mai). Our time there was so good! We got to do alot of different ministry things while there: working in the slums, street ministry, prayer walks and helping in the Café.
Our team also grew a lot while there. We really learned to listen to the Lord and to follow where He directed, even if it was not how we expected things to go or not we what we thought they would look like. God also taught me a lot about relying on Him every moment. That when I choose to walk with Him throughout my day, He will direct me. And that there is blessing in trusting and listening to Him.

Sunday we left Lighthouse for our next location. It was hard to say goodbye, especially to the Thai girls who work in the café that I met and grew to love. But I will always have the amazing memories and I am so thankful for everything God did in and through me and my team while we were there!
So, we left and had a 3-hour drive north in song tauws (a truck sort of thing) to Sila Home, the orphanage we are working at for the next couple weeks. We pulled in and I knew I was going to love it here! It's in the mountains and it is so beautiful and peaceful here!
I have been looking forward to working here at the orphanage. And it has been great so far! We've done a lot of work around orphange and the kids are so much fun! I'm so excited to spend a couple weeks here!

It's amazing to see the Lord working in so many different ways here. And I am so glad and feel so blessed to be a part of that!
