Last Hours in Thailand

Well, it's been an amazing two months. I have experienced many things that most other one year olds have not yet experienced. I'm truly blessed! We will be leaving the YWAM Thailand base in Bangkok at about 1 am local time, and our flight leaves a little before 6 am local time. We will have a 36 hour day because we leave Thailand on Thursday morning and arrive in Atlanta on Thursday afternoon. Crazy! I hope I can get lots of sleep on the plane, and I'm sure Mommy & Daddy are also hoping I sleep a lot on the plane. Please pray for us. I'll try to blog at least once more when we get home. Thanks for all your prayers thus far!

Last Days in Thailand

Hey everybody! It's been a week since my last post, which I thought would be my last post. But surprise! I'm online again. :) A lot has happened since my last post. For one thing, we were part of a two day Valentine's crusade, where our team worked with some other missionaries (affiliated with Randy Clark). We had a stage set up near the government part of the city and a large park, and for two nights we shared the gospel of Jesus and prayed for healings for people. Many people came to know the Lord, and many people were miraculously healed on the spot! One woman had a cyst that disappeared! Praise God!!

On a personal note, I played on my very first big boy swing last Sunday night. We were at a restaurant that had a little playground, and Daddy put me on the swing. I held on really tightly, and he pushed me higher and higher. I was so strong, and it was so much fun! Mommy has it all on video, so I guess she'll post it on Facebook once we're back home.

The last couple of days our team has done a lot of physical labor around the church. They've cleaned, painted, planted trees, repaired things, mowed grass, etc. I've mostly just hung out. :) Every so often Mommy would put me in the stroller and we'd roll around to check out all the projects. I guess I can be a pretty good encourager sometimes.

We only have a few more days in Thailand. On Sunday night we take another really LONG bus ride back to Bangkok. Then early Monday morning we'll take a van to a dock, where we'll take a boat to an island named Koh Samet. I can't wait to play on the beach! We'll be there for two nights, and then we'll head back to Bangkok. We fly back home on the 24th, so please be praying for me during the LONG journey back to America. I'm so excited to finally sleep in my real bed and play with all my toys that I got for my birthday/Christmas.

Well, the internet time is almost over, so I better go. Thanks for your prayers as we've ministered here! Love you!!

Nakhon Si Thammarat

I don't have much time at all, but this may possibly be my last past from Thailand. We are now down south in Nakhon Si Thammarat. We took a REALLY LONG bus ride to get here, but I slept most of the way. On our first day of ministry here, we went for a 6 am prayer walk, and three people gave their lives to Jesus. Two of them started talking to the team because of me. :) Thank God for using little babies like me!

We have seen many salvations here, and God has even performed some miraculous healings! Praise the Lord!! This is an amazing place to be because God is moving nearly every day.

It is really HOT here! I'm sweaty all the time, and I think I'm about ready to go home. I'm starting to get a little tired of being the center of attention all the time...too many people touch me & want my photograph. It was fun at first, but now it's getting a little old. But I will persevere till the end. Haha!

We will be here until the 20th, and then we get to spend two nights on an island. I'm really excited about that! I hear I might even get to see fire dancers. Yay! Sounds exciting!

Well, the internet time is almost over, and Mommy still needs to email Mama. I will write again when I can, but it might be from the USA!

A Break in Bangkok

We arrived in Bangkok yesterday for a brief break between locations. Daddy, Mommy, & the team had McDonald's for lunch again yesterday. We had a walk around the mall for a bit, but I haven't been in a very good mood this weekend. For one thing, I got knocked down by one of the dogs right before we left the farm yesterday. He was chasing after a rock & knocked me backwards. I hit my head & it hurt a lot! Plus, I'm also getting a top molar in right now, and so I'm just fussy. So Mommy & Daddy brought me back from the mall early for a nap. For dinner, the three of us had pizza. Yummy! And then we went to walk around a big night market near the YWAM base. I loved it! There were so many crazy sights, sounds, & smells. Plus, everyone loves to see me still! Daddy and Mommy picked out a really fun Thailand football (soccer) shirt & shorts for me. Yay! I can't wear it yet, but I'll grow into it in no time!

We finished our time in Kanchanaburi well. On the last day, they cooked us a big goat dinner! I didn't eat any, but my parents said it was delicious! On the next to the last day, I tried my very first popsicle. It was strawberry, and I loved it! The farm was a fun place for me to be a boy! I ended up with two skinned knees and a bumped head. Mommy says that it's fine because I'm boy & that's what's supposed to happen. :)

Tonight we get a bus for a really long journey down to Nakhon Si Thammarat. I'm anxious to get down there & see what it's like. Mommy has been there twice before, and she loves it. I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun!

Well, I'm not sure how much internet access I'll get to have in our next place, but I'll try to keep you as updated as possible. Keep us in your prayers! And especially pray for my molars!!
