Hello Paradise

      So the big news is that I'm moving again. I've been praying along with my friends Doc and Zina about moving to Southern Thailand. I've felt called to that place since I first visited there almost 2 yrs ago now. So all I needed was a job which I have got now. I will be moving at the end of this current school year in June. Super excited and it feels a bit unreal. While I knew God would follow through with sending me down there, there haven't been any open doors until now. The place I'm going to-Ao Nang, Krabi is small. It's a little beach town by the sea. I like to call it my 2nd Thai home since I go there so often. I go there partly for vacation and partly to build relationship with the people there.

      I will be taking a job in the Krabi International Montessori. So for now I'm training in Montessori and keeping up with special education stuff will be something I do on the side until the day that I need it at work or God moves me again. I will also be a part of the Ao Nang Community Church fellowship as well. People ask me if I'll get a better benefit package or higher pay but it's actually no to both. Outside of Bangkok and Chiang Mai, most places have lower pay which I expected. But moving was never about money. I don't have debt to think about anymore so it's just making sure that my day to day expenses are covered and a vacation once in a while would be nice. :) But because the neighboring countries are so easy to get to from over here, vacations are easier to attain here even with low income. Bottom line, I'm moving because I was called to this place. That's it and that's enough for me.
