\"One<\/a>
One way to get around in Thailand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Have you ever had a bad travel experience?<\/p>\n

Most people have. Nothing absolutely terrible springs to my mind as I think about that. Sure, there have been inconveniences, even an adventure, but that\u2019s about it. Oh, right, there was the one time I thought I was going to be executed, but that all worked out. Sorry, I digress \u2026<\/p>\n

Since Julie and I are going to Thailand in October, I thought you might enjoy hearing about how another missionary\u2019s trip to Thailand went recently.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy 33 hour trip back was a bit more eventful than usual,\u201d wrote Tami See, an NTM missionary who serves at Grace Academy. She\u2019s a teacher at the school that serves the children of missionaries in several countries in Southeast Asia, from a variety of organizations.<\/p>\n

She crossed 12 time zones, spent two hours waiting out a Texas thunderstorm, froze at Los Angeles International, and enjoyed a free hot shower at the Taipei airport. All in all, it wasn\u2019t 33 hours. She spend 18 hours in airports and 20 hours in flight.<\/p>\n

(Our plan involves five hours in airports, 24 hours in airplanes, a 30-hour layover in Bangkok and 13 hours by train. We\u2019ll see how that works out \u2026)<\/p>\n

One of Tami\u2019s suitcases took a different route, but caught up to her the next day. Her carry-on was weighed and found to be overweight at one airport. \u201cThe first time ever<\/em> I’ve had one weighed,\u201d she wrote. Thankfully they let me take it anyway.\u201d And a tiny pair of scissors was confiscated in Taiwan.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s doing better than four of her fellow teachers. They committed to teaching this term, but have been unable to raise the support they need. Please pray for them, and for the school as it tries to adjust to the changes necessary.<\/p>\n

Less than $3,000 is still needed for our trip to Thailand. Get more information, and find out how you can help >><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
