We are the body of Christ

Sorry, It's been SO long since I've updated! We have been so busy hanging out with everyone here and making the most of our last few days here. It's crazy that we have only 10 days left here in Thailand. Part of me is so ready to come home to see my family, friends, comforts of America, but so much of me wants to stay and live this life serving the Lord in missions forever. I have to just realize that when i get back to America, it doesn't stop. I'm still serving the Lord doing his mission, and most importantly glorifying him. This past week, we have been cheering on all our new friends at their Freshman games. We've been to badmitton, tecraw(kinda like volleyball, but you use your feet instead of hands), crosswords, basketball, water polo, and tennis). It's been so fun. It's even better watching the freshman you are closest to and seeing how happy they are that we come and watch them. This week was also Townsend's birthday, so we had alot of fun things planned for him. All of the girls learned a dance and performed it at his team birthday party. I started dancing to his favorite song, "Making my dreams come true" and then Milcah joined in, and then the rest of the team. He was so shocked and loved it. We cooked spaghetti,bread, and cookies and brownies that night. What a sweet American treat.
More and more people this week have been sharing their testimony with the Thai students. Milcah and her ministry partner, Aw, actually shared theirs three times this week. Two of them have now accepted Christ into their life. Hallelujah. It's been awesome to hear the stories of how God is working here in Thailand. Last weekend was fourth of July, but we celebrated it on the 2nd. We had a big pool party with Thai food and amazing desserts. It was such a nice treat that reminded me of home.Today, Sunday, we woke up early to play field games with the Education students... IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. We played this mosquito game where one person had to run around like a mosquito and tag ppl without getting captured. We played a toss the balloon game, and capture the flag with powder balls. All of the students loved that we were there and let us join in their games. Afterward, we went to church and Towsend and I taught a sunday school lesson to 4-7 year olds on family and Jacob and Esau. As a team event, we went to kareoke tonight and sang almost every American song offered. It has been the most amazing, and fast 44 days here and I know I will enjoy the last 10.
Prayer now would be to make the most of the time we have left here in Thailand. Also to continue reaching and caring for the lost when I go back to the States. Thanks again for all your prayers. Please keep it up!!
Love you guys
