Well it has been three weeks now since I graduated DTS. I left Thailand on February 21st and still miss it so much. We were in the US for two weeks before graduating, the first week we went to the YWAM Southeast conference in Talladega, Alabama. It was wonderful to spend time soaking up the Lord after some intense times of pouring out in Thailand. The second week we spent driving clear across the country to go speak in some of our team members churches about our trip and about YWAM Orlando. It was crazy but I loved it. We drove to Cincinnati, Ohio and from there to Chicago, and then to St. Joesph, Michigan, and back to Orlando! Our longest stretch of driving was about 22 hours!
After graduation I headed home kind of in shock that it was all over. It was so hard to leave my friends because we had become so much like family. We saw each other every day for 5 1/2 months and then all at once it was over.
Once home I started planning for my trip to the Philippines! My sisters and I will leave on April 8, 2009 and Martha and I return on May 8, where as Ashley will be staying on till July 10! This trip is very full as usual which will keep us quite busy! For the first week Ashley, Martha, and I are headed back up the mountain to go to Lapat (a small mountain village). Please pray for us because we have non stop travel from when we leave Charlotte to when we get to the foot of the mountain where we hick 3 hours up to Lapat. After Lapat we will be Baguio working with a local church doing worship focused ministry. I am so excited about what God wants to do during this trip! And now I really should start packing!
