I received a phone call from Madison yesterday morning. She tripped on a brick street and twisted her ankle. By the time she called it was already feeling much better. Her team had prayed over her and she said that made a huge difference. Her team has been spending each day this week working with students at the University and helping them with conversational English. She has fallen in love with the Thai people. She said that they are all very sweet and welcoming. She’s also learning how good we have it here in the states. "Americans are so spoiled!" she said. She’s getting it.

I asked if she was homesick and she said that she really hadn’t been homesick, though she missed talking to people she knew. She’s made two friends – Jenna, who reminds her of Taylor – and another girl who she is rooming with. When it came time to end the call, I could tell she was a bit reticent to do so, but I could tell that she was doing just fine.
