  7. “Practice Makes Progress…”- Brittany Stoll

  8. A 100 degree day is so much better than a 103 degree day

  9. Even if you don’t always see the growth you’ve made, other people see it

  10. I’m an INFP….Authenticity/Exploration

  11. The  Theoretical wall they talk about happening month 5/6 is a real wall….but don’t just hit it and stop, keep pushing through and you will break it.

  12. I found Fruit Loops….I don’t eat much of them in the states but here they tasted a little bit like home.

  13. I LIKE SMOOTHIES.

  14. 7-11 is everywhere.

  15. I held a python

  17. Night Markets are awesome.

  18. I love seeing smiles on children’s faces.

  19. I love watching people light up when they finally get it about “this God thing…”

  20. I travel around the globe doing what I love, which is serving God and end up on a Global Outreach Poster.

  21. Despite not always having much structure, or organization regarding ministry this month, it was an awesome month. Thailand will have a special place in my heart.
