Hello everyone!
I have made it here to Thailand Safely! Praise God, because we sure had a bumpy ride!
My family and I arrived at the airport a little over an hour before my plane would take off. We unloaded all my bags and went to check in. I gave the attendant all my information and waited. The attendant looked up and said, "I am sorry but unless you have a returning flight you can not go."
My world just froze. What?! So i tried as calmly as I could to take my bags back to my family and tell them what happened. Some how we had to get a hold of the travel agent that booked the flight. Praise the Lord I had my phone! (I had planned on leaving it at home, but decided to take it so I could call if I needed help while I was at the Washington airport.) So I called a friend who gave me the number to call the contact the person who could call the travel agent. After making several calls and lots of stress we figured it all out. I got on the plane and flew out. Thank goodness for my family who helped out so much!
The flights went well. Over 23 hours latter we arrived at the Bangkok airport. Rhonda* and I went through immigration (so they could check visa stuff) and then went to pick up our baggage. I grabbed my carry-on that I had to check in and waited for the rest of my baggage to come. But it never did. So I went and filled out the necessary paperwork. We were told it would be delivered to my apartment by Friday. Only when I got home did I realize how God had looked after me. Praise the Lord, that in the carry on that I had to check in I had clothes to wear, and things to shower with. I was not planning to have more then one change of clothes with me, and not any of the shower stuff.
I am just blown away at how God provided for all the details because he knew what would happen. If I had not had my phone with me, I would not have been able to call the right people. If my suite case had not been over weight I would not have had enough clothes until my baggage came. God is so awesome!
I want to give a big thank you to my sister who packed my bags and my mom who talked to the people when I could not! I love you!
Until next time!
*: God provided me with a room mate and a travel companion named
Rhonda. She will be here one year helping out the families on the team
with their children. She has been a lot of fun to hang out with and a
huge support to me!
So good to hear that you have arrived in Thailand. God does know all the details that were needed to get you there. He knows you by name and has all the plans prepared ahead of you. Trust him. Know you are loved.
