Lecture to Outreach

At the moment I am craving chai, but I do not feel like making it. And I am not even positive if we have tea leaves, so that does not help my lack of motivation. On top of that, I really need to update y'all since I have a spare moment- rather hour.
As you know, three months ago, I went off to Wisconsin for my DTS. About two weeks into it I switched focuses because I was actually going there for the other focus (I just did not know there was a school there as well for human trafficking). Each morning began with workouts, breakfast and quiet time. No matter where you went in the building it was cold, but I had weeks of mark outs in Tazo tea. Thank you Starbucks. ha ha There were a little over 60 of us in a one-story schoolhouse. We had the best times in that place.
We learned to live in a community. We fixed things before they started. We ate each others food; the germophobics eventually got over their irrational fears. ;) They obviously did not share and play with their food as children. ha If ever I thought I would learn to love living with ton of girls and have some amazing friends in those said girls, I probably laughed so hard at the thought that I snorted. (Attractive, right?) But now, I think about it and I see the women I have been living with for the last three months and I cannot help but think these girls are the best. Every one of us has meshed in a way that only our Father would have seen beforehand. And I know He has delighted in us. I'll miss the ones I do not have on my outreach team, but I am so excited about the ones I have on my team.
Having already gone through lecture together gives us an advantage. Last week, I watched my team come together. We began to respect and love each other in a way we had yet to. And we had fun. I can not wait to go.
Here I am talking about Thailand again. Let me finish about lecture first.
Actually, I do not know what else I want to say. I will be typing up all my notes and putting them on google docs if anyone wants to look at them. But I do not know when that will get done. Feel free to ask to see them/get them emailed to you.
So outreach... I leave in five days and I still have a need of about $1000. Give or take about $100. Please be praying with me that this need comes in. I know that my Father has this one in the bag. Also, I want to say thank you to all who have already given to me and to my school. We are so grateful that you decided to partner with us in this journey.
I am so excited to go with this group overseas. My first trip!
