Hello everyone!
Just an update! I am leaving Thailand next week, October 27th at 6:40AM and arriving in cold Columbus, OH the evening of the 27th. It will be a long 24 hour flight!
I'm flying Bangkok > to Tokyo > to Washington D.C.> to Columbus!
Please pray for safe flights, all my things to arrive, and good connections.
This week I am saying my goodbyes and preparing to leave. Thailand, and my friends will be missed!
BUT I am very excited to say hello to many people!
Continue to pray for peace as I transition as well. Very exicted about what is ahead.
All my love,
Anita Joy

its july!
Hello my faithful readers...i am not sure if there are any out there! it has been a while indeed. I am not the most faithful in updating my blog this year! check out my flickr photos for some updates on life here. I am currently going to school for hairdressing, and will sometime soon start learning some more thai massage.
If you remember to, please pray for our current Thai believers here. There is just a small group still, and it can be crazy for them as it is difficult to meet with thier scheldules. Pray that they would stay strong, and we would be an encouragement and support them as well. God is faithful!
I will be returning to the states on October 27 of this year. So crazy! Thank you for your continued prayers.
love and joy

catch up
Here is mixture of things and an update about what I have been doing in the last while AND what is ahead:
I have been meeting with my Thai friends, in all different places!
I traveled a bit, I went to Phuket with Candice for a retreat; so refreshing and encouraging.
I have been teaching English to the kids in Bang Phli, and tutoring a bit on the side.
those kids are so sweet.
The month of February I studied Thai massage. It was a great expirience, I was able to meet some really special people, while learning this Asian art. I will study in May some more, this as well as hairdressing. Studying these trades provide great natural ways to build relationships and love others. Currently everyone is on Summer holiday and so the schools are closed, therefore I will start in May when the schools open again. I am excited.
On March 30- April 9 I will be traveling to Northern India. I will be visiting some friends. I am really looking forward to this trip and returning once again to this place.( I lived there for a short period of time 3 years ago) Please pray for saftey and protection as I will be traveling alone.
Next week, I will be moving to a communitiy called Nam Deeng. I will be living with another member of our team, Colleen. I am very happy and I have peace about this move. This will be my last move during my time here. :) Pray for a smooth transition.
At the end of this month and the beginning of next month 5 of our Latin team members will be leaving and returning to thier home countries. Pray for the transition among our team, and for the relationships that have been built between thier Thai friends.
Continue to pray for the light and the peace of God to flood this place. May his light transform hearts, and bring truth where there is darkness.
It is the hot season here, and it is warm all the time. This morning I awoke to the loudest, heaviest rain I have seen or heard in a long time. It lastes for a few hours. It was beautiful, there was even thunder and lightening. I Loved it. The soi connecting to Liket Jet was completely flooded, cars, cycles, everyone splashed and slaushed through the wetness. It was fun. The rain provides coolness and freshness, even if only for a little while.
Keep checking my Flickr site, as I continue to post pictures.

a lovely visit
My parents came to visit me for two weeks at the beginning of January. I thought I would post a few pictures of our time together. We visited friends in my community, met with friends for meals, ate lots of Thai food, went to Koh Samet, a beautiful island for a few days, and did some tourist must-sees in the city. Overall it was a fabulous time, and I was so blessed! Enjoy the pictures! I also posted some more on flickr.
