going to thailand

tomorrow evening i will get on a plane headed to thailand. first i'll stop for the night in seoul, korea. i decided to use my frequent flier miles to book at room at a nice hotel near the airport. last year korean air put me up in this same hotel for free and it was one of the best nights of sleep i had all year. even though my bed here is great, i'm looking forward to that lovely soft bed there.

but that's not what i'm looking forward to the most. i'm looking forward to friday at 6am when jimmy's plane arrives in seoul!!!! i'll be waiting for him at the airport and we'll spend the day in korea together before getting on separate planes (sheesh, how annoying. haha) to reach our next destination - bangkok, thailand.

i'm looking forward to the next month but there is also some nervousness for me. on monday, january 12, i'll be seeing an orthopedic surgeon about my ankle. i have a pretty strong feeling that i'll have to have surgery to repair the damage from an old fracture and constant walking in mongolia. please be thinking about me and asking that the doctors i see will have wisdom in knowing the best course of action.

ok, one other thing to be thinking of with me is our conference from jan 28-feb 5. there will be a lot of opportunities for us teachers to hear from the Father, and i'm asking that we will all be ready to hear from him. also there is always a lot of food poisoning and other illnesses that seem to affect a good percentage of the teachers. please ask that we will all be healthy and have safe travels. thanks!

well, i'm headed to bed now and in some ways it feels like i'm a kid on christmas eve. :) i'll write again after i return from my adventures.
