Just Another Week

Hey Everyone! 

I hope this note finds you well! 

There isn't a whole lot to report on this week. It was just another week of teaching in Mae Sa Luang! The weeks seem to fly by even faster than they did before. I have heard that this gets worse with age! Time goes faster and faster. I can hardly believe that tomorrow is Friday! I feel like it was just Friday and we just had a Sabbath! 

Tomorrow is the King's Birthday so we have the day off from classes. It is also Father's Day in Thailand. It's the same as the Queen's Birthday being Mother's Day here. It's because they are looked up to as a father and a mother. (Dad, Happy Thai Father's Day!) I'm not sure what we are going to do tomorrow. If everything works out, we may go to the orphanage where I was last time I was in Thailand, which would be a ton of fun! I haven't gotten the chance to get out there since being over here, which is really sad. It's just been terribly busy and then the broken leg just threw in another obstacle.

Speaking of my leg, it is still getting better. I have been in pain the last few days and had to start wrapping it again. The cold weather and the metal in my leg are not friends! It's weird because I could be fine and then be in pain. I'll put up photos of my leg next time I post a blog so you can see the progress. My next doctor's appointment is January 26. He said by that appointment I should be able to walk without crutches, which is super exciting! Keep the prayers coming. :) I would love to be able to run and rock climb again someday with no problems.

Legacy is having some new developments. They have asked me to develop and teach the graduating students and the graduate students a class on "how to teach." I could really use prayers here. I'm really excited about it, but a little nervous as well. I feel at though I am still learning how to teach and will be teaching others how to teach. Mr. Drawbaugh was here during the Feast and he has come back to help teach 3 new Bible classes along with Aj. Leon and Nathan. Keep them in your prayers as well. Everyone is really excited about all of the new classes. We all need prayers so that we can do this to the best of our abilities. Prayers for the students to gain understanding would be good, too.

Aj. Leon (my fellow crip) is getting better too. He still has trouble with his right eye and working on the computer. Continued prayers for him would be greatly appreciated. It's amazing to see how God is healing him. The power of prayer is amazing. Seeing the improvement with Aj. Leon and in my leg is so exciting!  

Classes will end in late February, which is right around the corner and then I'll be jumping on a jet plane back to Cali and can hardly wait to see everyone!! 

Have a great rest of your week! 

Sending lots of love and hugs your way!
