Well I'm leaving Holland for the United States in just a few hours. It has been an amazing trip. I've enjoyed my time with the Stephensons and Kaitlyn and getting to see the ministry here and getting to meet so many wonderful Dutch people and other missionaries. I am sad to leave, not only am I leaving my wonderful niece and nephew (and their parents :) ) I am also beginning to realize this marks the true end to my missions trip!

There are so many things I have learned and I firmly believe life will never be the same. I can't wait to share with you all that God has done and the things that I have learned. I don't know what is next, as far as the very near future holds, but I look forward to watching God work out the details and how He is going to move.

Thank you all for your prayers and support. Please pray for my travels. I leave for California at 2pm Holland time (5am Arizona and Cali time, 7pm Thailand time). I will be in California for less then 24 hours before I head out on a trip with my parents. I will return to California next Monday and then head back to Arizona to be in church on May 24th. Look forward to seeing you all!!!!

Prayer Requests:

As I finish up my time here in Holland I have begun the process of applying for jobs back in Arizona. Please pray that God will lead me to the right job and that I will be able to get a job quickly.

Pray for God's leading as to what my future will hold, especially in the form of missions.

Pray for my time in Holland. That it will be profitable and helpful for Stephensons. (pray for a friend of Heather's that we have spent some time with and seems to have built a good relationship with Kaitlyn)

Pray for the last bit of my support to come in. God has provided in AMAZING ways and I have been surprised at every turn as He has been SO faithful and His timing has been perfect. I am still trying to raise the the rest of the support to pay for my plane ticket.

Pray for the ministry in Thailand. They have a team in now. Pray also that the Chinese tourist will continue to travel to Thailand. With the recent political situation there have been fewer Chinese traveling to Thailand.

Thank you ALL for all of your support. I have been SO blessed by this opportunity and all that God has done in my life. I look forward to being able to share with when I get home!
