This post is for those of you who don't receive our monthly prayer email (if you would like to receive it, please let me know). We were supposed to be here in Lopburi until the end of July but it seems God is directing our steps to leave about two months sooner than we had originally planned. So, we are moving in about three weeks! Paul went to Bangkok on Saturday to look at some houses and found one for us to live in. We are really excited about it because it is in a great location. It's very close to our ministry center and if you remember from a previous post (January '06) we stayed near a huge park, well that park is just down the road about five minutes! There is a swimming pool and other fun things to do there at the park. Thank you for praying with us for God's leading.
We are going down early to help the team with several interns and a short term team coming. We will continue langauge learning...we still have a long way to go in that department but we are looking forward to serving and getting to know our Thai neighbors in Bangkok. Please pray for all of us as we transition into a whole new world.

Dear Crystal & Paul,
I have been praying that the Lord would help you find just the right house and still have a little bit of "country" to enjoy. It sounds like that is exactly what he gave you! PTL!
love, momH
We are excited to finally be getting our teammates here with us!
Wow! I will be praying for ya'll moving and everything. How is everything going? Can you put me on your monthly list to get your letter?
Things here are good, I am hoping to quit my job in the next month and just do support-raising which is a little scary, but exciting!
I was going to mention that I have a friend in Bangkok (I know Bangkok is big) but it worth mentioning. She is a friend I made while my summer in Japan (Chie) and she just moved there recently bc of her work. She has no friends, and wants to be around Christians, even though she is not a believer herself. I will have to email you more details once ya'll get there. One of the best friends I had there, she is just a few years older than I am.
Anyway, exciting about the move and the team there! i will be praying.

That is so exciting! I bet you all are so glad to be living near the rest of the team now, even though moving can be tough. We'll pray for yall in the move.
Also I wanted to let you know that I am officially in love with PJ!! He is so adorable! We love seeing pictures of him on your blog and are excited to meet you all and PJ & Calvin in Sept, God willing!

Thanks everyone for your encouraging words AND prayers! Mary,do you have an email addy so I can add you to the mailing list? Also, I remember when we took the huge step of not having any income other than our stipend from MTW...it's amazing how God will bless you for trusting Him. Hang in there and keep your eyes fixed on Christ...please send me your friend's info too!
Becky, does that mean if you all have a girl sometime we can do a marriage arrangement for the two of them?! =)I must admit he is a sweety but he does have his moments of two year oldness!
Kim, it's going to be so different in another two weeks! Praise the Lord, the waiting is almost over.
And Mom Henry, we'll let you know how "country" it is! I am glad we're close the the park and the office and our other teammates. God is good.
