Email

This is the email I sent out to some friends from church and family members about my trip:




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.


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,
Hannah Grace Garrett
