I Made It to Thailand.

Hello everyone. I made it to Thailand without any incidents, so thank God for that. When I left Sea-Tac, I still hadn't made contact with Bonnie and Ray so I didn't know how I was going to meet up with them when I got to the airport in Thailand. So then I had to trust God that it was all going to work out. I thought that I was going to meet up with them at Taiwan, because we had a lay over at the same time but they were on the other side of the airport, but anyways. The airport wasn't the most organized one, they kept changing the terminal that are plane was leaving from, so everyone in my terminal got up and switched(all 200 of us) , then stood in the hallway to try and figure out what was going on, and then switched back. Once the plane actually took off from the right terminal, I met some Christian missionaries on the plane and started talking to them. I told them how I had no way of getting a hold of Bonnie and Ray, but didn't think any thing of it. So when we landed I cleared customs and got my luggage with the two missionaries, who were concerned about how I was going to meet up with Bonnie and Ray. Then when we were walking out of the airport I turned to corner and there was Bonnie and Ray standing there. So yet again God worked everything out and I said thanks to the missionaries who tried to help me out and went with Bonnie and Ray into Bangkok. I didn't even have a hotel booked, so I tried to get into the hotel that they were staying at but it was going to be about twice as much as they had paid, because they got a special deal online. So since I didn't really want to pay out $70 a night, we had to find something else. Of course God lead us to a different hotel, and it was only 2 blocks away. It only cost about $35 a night and was almost as nice as Bonnie and Ray's hotel. So I ended up staying in Bangkok for two nights, and going to bed at about 7:30 because of jet lag. Thanks for reading, God bless you all.
