Its crazy to think that I'm leaving Portland in just over a week! I still have so much planning and packing to do! Here is the travel plan so far...
On June sixth,my mom and me will take a United airlines plane to Seattle at 9 am. After lunch, we'll leave Seattle on a direct flight to Frankfurt, Germany. It will be morning in Frankfurt when we get there and we'll have a whole day to spend looking around. The next plane will take us to Bangkok, Thailand. We'll spend at least one day in Bangkok and then take a train to Chiang Mai, and then to Chiang Rai (which are both in northern Thailand).

This is the email I sent out to some friends from church and family members about my trip:
Pastor Prachan and Twanjai Rodruan of New Life International Baptist Church have introduced me to a ministry in Thailand called Home of Blessing. This ministry is led by friends of the Rodruans, and is located outside of the northern Thai city of Chiang Rai. Home of Blessing provides a safe place to live and learn for young girls who are at risk for homelessness and prostitution. I will be living with these girls this summer, teaching ESL. I will be there most of the summer and I am leaving in several weeks time! I am very excited about this opportunity, and I would really appreciate your prayers for me as the time draws near, and while I am away. I have been studying the Thai language this year in independent study at Riverdale High School, and have been learning a lot about teaching English as a second language from several friends of mine that have experience in that area. I'm very excited for this trip, and also a little nervous about my ability to effectively teach English. Will you please pray for me about this?
Thank you,
Hello!
As most of you already know, I have some very exciting plans for the summer! I thought I would write just to let you know some of the the details.
