Thailand countdown

The official Thailand countdown has gotten a whole lot more real in the last few days. Our team leaves in just over a week, and while we could not be more excited, my trip to-do list doesn't seem to be getting any shorter just yet.

We are very excited (and very thankful) to report that not only is Team Park fully funded, but Team Thailand as a whole is now fully funded as of this weekend. Praise the Lord! For those of you who gave of your resources, we say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It has been incredible to see God provide for us through your generosity. And, for those of you praying for us, please know that we are so thankful for you, too. It really means a lot to us that you would commit to lifting our family and team up in prayer.

One change in our trip plans is that Levi will no longer be joining Team Park on this adventure. As the trip itinerary became more firm, we realized that we would not be spending as much time in the city as we initially thought, and instead will be spending more time in refugee camps and hiking to villages. We prayed about it and know that it's the right decision to leave our little man, but boy will we miss him.

We know we are in good hands, as our team leaders are amazing, and of course we know God is with us every step of the way. And, we know our son will be in good hands, too, with Grandy and Grammy. As you can see, they're already old friends:

Thanks in advance G&G! This should bring back memories of how your life felt about 29 years ago!
