Within the past week and a half, I've had some money given to me by a couple of people. Do you remember my grandfather's 87-year-old cousin who slipped me a $10 at a family bridal shower? She gave me $5 last Saturday at a family reunion and I just kept thinking, "Little is much when God is in it!"

Then before choir practice on Sunday, a friend of mine handed me a note that really encouraged me! On the left side of the card she had attached some money to the card with an elephant sticker. How appropriate! Elephants are a common sight in Thailand (so common that I saw a few outside of the mall:D) and are also known for their memory! So thank you M. for encouraging me and helping me along with my trip!

M.'s sister has been a big help to me in getting my prayer card done! She e-mailed me a couple of options and I just want to praise the Lord for the talent and skill he has given K. in this area! What a blessing!

One more thing. While at summer camp this past week, Bro. Richard Mick was preaching and said, "you know, some people are afraid God is going to call them to South America or Africa or, or, Thailand!" As I was talking with him later, I shared all that the Lord has done to prepare me to go, and he was a real blessing and encouragement to me. Talk about being in the right place at the right time!

In about 5 weeks I'll be boarding that plane for Thailand... but until then, there are lots of steps I need to take and I'm sure the Lord will guide them all!
