What a title huh?? Well, I can now legally stay in Thailand another 3 months before I need to re-new my visa again. And...I am now 21. It has been quite a week and it is only Wednesday. Our flight to Chiang Rai both there and back was smooth and uneventful. We got to Chiang Rai by lunch time and were met at the airport by the Fillipino missionaries that we were going to stay with. They had just built a church. Right next to it they had built a house and a guest house. Lesa and I stayed in the guest house. The entire trip the missionaries there just loved on us and encouraged us so much. 
The next day they took us sight-seeing to the Golden Triangle. It is the place where the borders of Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos all meet. On a clear day you can even see the mountains of China. From there they took me to the border of Myanmar. One of their English students that is currently living with them crossed the border with me. She is the same age as I am and speaks pretty good English. We had a lot of fun together. Once we crossed the border, we wandered around a market that was right on the border for about a half an hour. We crossed back into Thailand and headed back to Chiang Rai. We spent a good part of the evening hearing all about the ministries that our hosts are currently running. The growth up there has been amazing! We are so excited with what the Lord is doing there. Their new church is beautiful and provided straight from the Lord. Lesa and I flew out the next morning - early. (Which was today) Tomorrow Alice, one of our team-mates, is taking me out to lunch for my birthday. Hope you all at home are doing well.Love & Blessings,
Bethany
