I still really cant believe that i'm actually flying to Thailand on Monday. So, a quick rundown of the last couple weeks.
Had some really good speakers including one guy (who is our base director) named Tom Osterhus. He spoke on the most basic and foundational parts of Christianity and it was super good. I really think it would be sweet to maybe teach that somewhere at school or church cause it was super duper good.
The next week we had a guy named Dan Bauman come and speak. He has been a missionary for like 20 plus years and he came and shared about all his experiences. He had some crazy amazing ones.
He was imprisoned in Iran for 9 weeks because he was a missionary and becasue the government thought he was a spy. He went through so many rough times there and had some awesome God experiences. I'm also pretty sure that he changed lots of lives while he was there.
I still am really blown away by the fact that i'm really doing this. I'm super excited but this is the sickest (posotive) thing i've ever done.
I also thought it'd be good, since i wont be able to talk to you guys on outreach, to give you a rundown of whats going on,
We fly to Thailand on monday at 4:30 AM and we get there at 3 AM of the same day. weird.
We do ministry there for 10 days then my team flies to Borneo and we are there for 3 months. We'll start in Pontianic, a coast town on the west side of the island, that has a YWAM base in it. We will stay there for a week then we'll go and trailblaze into villages in the jungle. We'll go village to village for a while then come back to the base to re-fuel.
After about a month and a half we will fly to the east side of the island and TEACH in a DTS just like the lecture phase i just finished. Stoked on that for sure!!
I really do send my best reguards to all of you and i'll be home on November 22!
TALK TO YOU GUYS IN 3 MONTHS!!!!!
