Today was the beginning of the end. We are now at Baan Phu Waan, just outside of Bangkok, where our final conference of the trip is taking place.
After dinner was a 'meet and greet' with whoever was here already. People from all over Asia (and the globe) are gathering to learn more about and from each other. It was great to reconnect with colleagues we haven't seen for months or even years. And yet, we have a kinship that comes from working towards the same goals.
We were relieved to hear that all of our colleagues in Nepal are accounted for and doing ok. Still, join with us in praying after the devastation. Disasters like this feel so much closer to home when you know people there and have it on your radar to visit them. We could have been there. We will go there. These are the realities of living away from the safety of the Canadian Shield.
We are both very much looking forward to this week of getting to know our fellow Kingdom builders better and hoping to learn to serve them well.
