Off to Thailand

After a nice lunch with Lynn and the girls yesterday, they kissed me goodbye for the fourth time in 12 months. It's hard to believe: Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, back to Australia, and now three weeks in Thailand. This trip will be the last for this year we're hoping. We'd like to get nicely settled back in Canada before I do any more international travel.
After a bit of a delay due to severe weather in Miami, we finally got off the ground, arriving in LA around 1:00am. Fell into my bed at the hotel around 2:00am. Today I need to pick up a few filming supplies, and then head to LAX to catch a late-night flight to Bangkok, Thailand. I get in there at 6:10am tomorrow, and then fly immediately to Chiang Mai where the filming will begin.
I really enjoy filming ISV. They do really good work with community-based organizations, and the students are really challenged to make a difference. You can see where I'll be going by visiting www.isvonline.com and clicking on Thailand. My first three days will be spent filming at the Elephant Nature Park and a hill tribe that ISV works in. From June 27-30 I'll be filming the Development and Education for Daughters and Communities program - an organization that works on the prevention side of trafficking of women and children in the sex trade and exploitative labour situations. From July 1-15 I'll be filming the exciting Thailand adventure tour.
So, here I go again. Please keep Lynn and the girls in your prayers during my absence. My separation from them is by far the hardest part of what I do, and I am so grateful the strength God provides to Lynn, especially as we're looking forward to our move home on Aug.1.
