Last Day!
Today was my last day at Union Language School. I'm not even sure why I went in to take the test apart from feeling a tiny bit sentimental. After all, this has been my life for the past 9 months! One aspect I will really miss is meeting so many people from all over the world and from all walks of life. But I do have phone numbers and email addresses for a few of them.
Now I am excitedly anticipating the arrival of my good friend Twila, who should be flying today from Ohio and is to arrive here at Suvarnibumi Airport about 11:30 PM tomorrow night (10:30 AM daylight savings time). She is coming a couple weeks early to spend time with me and with the Masts, after which a prayer team from her church will be coming.

Sunday night Twila and I will take a sleeper train the 12-hour ride north to Chiang Mai to do a few days of vacationing. We hope to spend one day with a tour group visiting an elephant camp, riding elephants, and bamboo rafting down a river. I also expect we will visit the night bazaar as our hotel is walking distance from there. Who knows what else we will end up doing??:) But with Twila we're sure to have a fun-filled time!
