Speaking Thai!!!!

As the past few weeks have been pretty busy, I have wanted to put so much on here, but I really haven't had much time.

If you don't know already, I have finished raising my support!!!!! God has been so incredibly faithful, and I am so overjoyed!

It is really hard to believe I am here right now. Here being my friend's Heidi and Gordon's house in Lansing. Last week was my first week on campus. I got to shadow some of the others here on campus with Bridges, and kind of live "a day in the life" but really it was a week.. anyway, so last week we got into conversations with a Chinese girl and a Japanese girl about the gospel, and it was really cool. My friend Jess said it is really uncommon to find people at home, but almost everyone we visited were home. (or in their dorm rooms I mean)

I finished out the week feeling pretty good, not too overwhelmed and excited for getting on campus, except that this week is planning week, so we aren't really on campus that much, we are just planning for next semester.

Although today was a bit special. I found out where some Thai girls live, and I went and knocked on their door. I got to meet 4 girls who were estatic about knowing a foreigner that speaks Thai!!! their eyes were pretty much bugging out of their heads when they realized I could speak Thai pretty well, so next week we will be going out to eat some Thai food together and get to hang out a little! I am way excited!!!!!

That's all for now, but hopefully I will have more time to write tomorrow.
