We had a restful and relaxing time in Hua Hin. Today we lounged around, did some group devotions and reflecting on our time here, and spent a lot of time at the beach. We also went out for pizza and did some last souvenir shopping at the market there, plus ice cream, of course! (We love that Dave loves ice cream!)
It's about 3am here right now, and we plan to leave for the airport in about 45 minutes or so. Our flight leaves here at 6:50am Bangkok time (6:50pm Monday CDT). But before we left, we thought we'd compile two lists for you.
Things we'll miss about Thailand:
-the MTW team and especially Dave, Melanie, Keiow, Yu, Mary, Jan, Kirk, Go, Pat, Andrew and Becky, the college interns, and everyone else! (everyone!)
-the wide variety of fresh fruit (Miss Bush)
-the kids at Mahatthai and their smiles (everyone)
-mangosteens! (Megan)
-29 cent water bottles (Megan)
-food and smoothies at the market! (Janelle)
-the staff here, and smoothies (Katy)
-food (especially gaeng paneng) and Katy Veldhorst (Kristie)
-Milo and Go (Erica)
-shopping and the kids! (Elizabeth)
-Fern and Jane (Janaya)
-fruit (Sam)
Things we look forward to back in the States:
-A tall glass of cold milk, cheese, and a baseball game! (Miss Bush)
-dairy products! (Cara)
-relaxation! (Janelle)
-my family (Katy)
-family, grapes! (Megan)
-talking to my brother!! (Kristie)
-using my phone again (Erica)
-my bed (Elizabeth)
-my bed, really (Janaya)
-my bed and McDonalds (Sam)
(Can you tell this post is written when they should be sleeping?) :)
Thank you all so much for your support, encouragement and prayers. We definitely felt them over the past two weeks. Please pray for us as we spend nearly the next 24 hours traveling back to the States. Please pray for safe travel and more importantly, for the ability to figure out how the work that God has done in us in these two weeks translates into our lives there.
This is not the end of the blog! I have a few wrap-up posts that will be coming in the next few days, so please keep stopping by!
Thanks for your partnership in the Gospel!

Thank you very very much, Miss Bush, for writing this blog! I am Meg's aunt, and though I don't know most of you, it's been great to be able to come here and see what you're all up to. I am so thankful you all have had this great experience, and thankful especially to you for taking on the responsibility of shepherding the girls to the other side of the world! Thank you for the time, effort, organization, love and prayer you've put into this project. Still trusting you to our Father's care, and praying you home.
