ANYWAY, because of LTC, I made a wonderful friend named Jen Do, and we were finally able to find time to have lunch and chat about our summers and how God has been working in our lives! it was exciting hearing how God was teaching her new things through trials, but finding that God always comes through when we continuously seek him. I also got to share with her about my trip to Thailand, and it was honestly kinda nice because it's been a while since I've shared with people about the trip since coming back in July.
Thinking about Thailand made me realize exactly how much more I miss being there now. It is currently BLAZING in SoCal, but I'd trade this dry heat to be back in Thailand, where it is hot and humid beyond belief, but that was so minuscule in comparison to the experiences I had there. I am now thinking about the students that I built relationships with and I continue to pray for their hearts to become open to finding that God is the only true God, and that he brings healing and light to our broken and dark lives. It's still summer, but I do think about next summer and whether or not I will be able to go back to Thailand. I know it's early to think about it, but I also know that my heart desires to go back and experience God sowing seeds in Thailand. But until then, I will continue to keep Thailand in my prayers and remember how God worked on our trip this summer ♡

missing Thailand every day and hoping that I will return again soon ♡
