A Honeymoon with God

Hello from THAILAND! It has been a crazy ride so far and it's only week 2! Lecture phase in Vancouver was definitely the vacation. There have been amazing moments, like working with Pattaya Slum Ministries. They go out to the slums of Pattaya and minister and help the kids. From cleaning their wounds and cutting their nails to having "Sunday school" lessons and teaching them about Jesus, Angela, her husband Thea, Pin, and Lauren have such a love for these kids. I loved playing with the kids for the first week and half in Pattaya. For some of us, including myself, it was hard to leave them to continue our journey to Bangkok.

Hey All, It's come to my attention that my TD bank account number is wrong. Seeing as my blog is public, posting my account number would be a security issue. I ask that people email me at adrianamcpherson@hotmail.com and I will send you the correct account number. I also encourage everyone to donate to my paypal account. You can invest and partner with me as a monthly donor or even make a one time donation! I will be doing an update on the overall experience of the Lecture phase titled, "He Calls Me Freedom". Continue to pray for the team and I and I'll talk to you soon Adriana
