The Blog I Don't Have Time For

I will keep this as brief as possible because I don't actually have time to write this. I have been so busy in the last little while that I haven't had time to make a new blog and I don't really have time right now, but I thought I would let everyone know that I am still OK and everything. I climbed two mountains in two days. The first with my entire class, on a class picnic, and the second with only one other Karen so I could take pictures from the top because I forgot the camera the last time I climbed it (we started as five, but one guy didn't have the proper footwear so 2 others went back with him). A team from Canada came to the school that I am staying at, and in fact one of the ladies was from Global Harvest, Helen Gagliano, also known as the 'flagging lady'. So it was nice to meet up with some Canadians, because all of the missionaries that come through here are either from the USA or Korea. Oh and another guy on the team, I had already meet in the summer in Kelowna, when some friends and I went up for the weekend to go camping. Luke is a friend of Liz's (one of the people that I went to Kelowna with), and he works in Teen Challenge in Kelowna, and when we meet we had a really good worship session with him, but I never thought I would see him again. Then to meet up with him in Thailand in a Karen refugee camp, that is almost weird if I didn't know my God any better, but it totally sounds like something that God would do. I love Him (of course for more than His good sense of homour, but it doesn't hurt). Anyways I am almost done teaching as tomorrow is the final exam and is also the reason why I don't really have time to make this blog. Right after the final I am off to Bangkok to meet up with Paul DeGagne and Anthony Chartrand, for a conference with their missions organization. Also the Canadian team that was here, has left to go to the conference as well, so I will know my fair share of people there. It will be for the rest of the week and then next week is to hand in all of my marks, which are updated except for the final and one assignment. Then graduation is on March 11th and then I have no idea what I am going to do till I fly home on the 28th (probably try and visit all the other camps, but we'll see). So this is my blog that I don't have time to write.

Wow David
I think that is amazing how God has allowed you to meet up with so many different people in Thailand. I am happy to hear you are getting to go to a conference as well! I praise the Lord for how HE has ordained your mission trip! I remember asking you what you were going to do for 3 months in Thailand and you really did not have a clue (other than say I have to go to the Karen refugee camp.) You trusted God and HE has directed your days. Continue to seek HIM and HE will lead you all the way until your final days in Thailand. Love Mom
