End of a phase...

Well, today marks my last day in Thailand. Tomorrow my team and I get on a plane and fly for more than 24 hours, back to Vancouver, B.C. for two weeks of debrief. As I sort through the mess of emotions I am feeling currently, and anticipate the approaching jet lag, I would appreciate your prayers one more time.
We said our goodbyes last night to TLC, Team 2000 and the community we have been a part of for the last seven months. It was hard, leaving these people, not knowing if we would ever see them again. Pray that God will continue to move in that incredible place, and our friends would keep growing in their relationships with him. Pray for my friend Wow, probably my closest Thai friend, that as our team leaves, she would find friends to provide her with the support she needs, despite very difficult family circumstances.
We begin debrief phase the next morning after our flight. Pray that despite rather intense jet lage we will be able to process this experience, and learn to apply all the ways God has shaped us here at home.
Pray for safety as we and all the other TREKers (Panama, Germany, Mexico and Burkina Faso) fly home from our various locations.
Praise God for the way that our team has had closure in this last week, and for all the ways that we have learned and been shaped this year.
I look foreward to seeing all of you as I return to Canada.
Thanks for your prayer and support.
