**edit** (it's a joke, i'll be fine without sour patch xP)

I finally have my ministry schedule somewhat set and I will be preparing this week to start ministry next week. So here we go:

Sunday - Worship, praise team (they're making me play piano?!?), and participate in Bible study (this is hard because I can't understand Thai yet)

Monday - Sabbath (praise God!), and I'm taking an New Testament Survey class at Chiang Mai Theological Seminary. I may teach guitar, if I'm not tired.

Tuesday - Teaching English to non-believers, Learning Thai at Chiang Mai University

Wednesday - Teaching guitar, helping out at Korean night

Thursday - Maybe teaching at an elementary school, Learning Thai at CMU

Friday - Teaching English to church members, Helping out and sometimes leading Friday Outreach Night (for non-believers).

Saturday - Teaching SAT to Missionary Daniel's kids, Helping train a praise team

So there's my schedule. On top of this, an opportunity has come up where me and P'Mee (my pastor) may be able to be "English professors" AT Chiang Mai University. A man literally walked through the door because he was interested in enrolling his daughter in my english class, and said he knew a lot of professors at CMU and his daughter's major needed a native English teacher. But it's just in the air right now, nothing final.

Prayer Requests:
- Pray for my preparation, especially for english classes and leading Korean and Friday Nights. I'm trying to decide how much "Bible" to put in the english class or if I want to keep it more relational and invite them out to a different night for gospel purposes. I'll be giving a little "message" kind of thing next Friday, and I need a corresponding activity to hammer in whatever I want to talk about. Lastly, I'm terribly uncreative when it comes to leading games, I really need a miracle of God to do that right.
- Pray for the aforementioned opportunity to teach English on campus. It would be a great way to meet new students. Furthermore, Grace Fellowship has a long-term plan to start some kind of a coffee shop, cafe, hangout spot on campus and is looking for connections with professors on campus to do so.
- Pray for my Thai language acquisition. Thai is such a hard language! I'm improving, but I really would like to communicate with Thai people on a deeper level.
- Pray for the new non-Christian students that I will be meeting, that as I interact with them I would be able to share God's love through actions where my words lack.
- Lastly, pray for my own spiritual development and discipline. I've realized just one day without prayer and QT makes an incredible difference. It shows me how strong the spiritual warfare is here.

Well to all readers, supporters, prayer-ers, thank you for everything. I've really been encouraged to know there are many people praying for me home-side.
