That's right, we hit 100% of our support goal! Thank you, Jesus!
Thank you for your prayers, support, and encouragement; we wouldn’t be here without your faithfulness to the Lord. Let the journey continue as we move on to this new exciting phase of ministry!
We plan to leave in mid-October, stopping along the way to visit missionary friends serving in Japan. Then we'll be landing in Singapore for three weeks of training with OMF International. After our training we will be arriving in Lopburi, Thailand, which will be our home for the first year of our term.

About Our Town | Lopburi - City of Monkeys
Since this is where we will be living for the upcoming year, we thought it would be nice to tell you a little about it.

During our first year, while doing language school and cultural learning, we will be located in Lopburi. This small city is in central Thailand, about two and a half hours North of Bangkok, the capitol city. Lopburi is known for its Old Town ruins, sugar cane crops (which Phil is very excited for), sunflower fields, and, of course, the massive infestation of monkeys! Here's a link to a mildly humorous article written by someone who is not so happy about the monkey population.

Lopburi has approximately 26,000 people living in it. We have been told there are not too many foreigners living there, thus it will be a good place for us to be immersed in the Thai language. We have also been told that there is not much entertainment there... nothing to distract us from our studies :). There are more interesting facts about Lopburi on WikiTravel.org.
Although there may not be as much to do in this small city, we are excited that we will be able to dedicate our time to learning the language and making new friends. We will update you more on the city, etc. once we get there and have some pictures to share!
