12 days left!

Thailand Video

Oh boy! 12 days is so soon! I'm just about done shopping for everything I need, which is a HUGE relief. I received all my shots and I'm currently taking my Typhoid pills (I have 2 left until i'm protected). My typhoid pills are live pills & it's such a weird feeling knowing that i'm taking a pill that is alive! The first day they made me REALLY sick, I just took the second one & I'm starting to feel a little funny again. My doctor gave me a whole bunch of medicine for "just in case" situations, and I went and bought a whole bunch of other medicine.

The  video above is one that was shown at church today that Dan made. It's pictures of previous trips and definitely gets me very excited about going! (Note, his name is Dan LAMM, not Dan LAMB) I'm starting to get really emotional when anyone brings up Thailand, I can't watch the above video without getting teary eyed and when I think about it I start tearing up. It's finally happening, this long anticipated wait is almost over & in 12 days I will be on a plane to Thailand (I totally just got really huge goosebumps!). Today I switched up my ESL class and had my students teach me Karen. They enjoyed being the teachers & more importantly, I enjoyed the crash course in the Karen language. 

It's amazing how everything has fallen into place perfectly this whole time. Any time I'm worried about ANYTHING, that fear instantly gets put out by something happening. This whole journey before the journey has been so great but i'm still extremely anxious to go!
