punkeemunkee'smom wrote: I am really worried too! Backround info- My younger sister was asked,almost a year ago, by her church to be the lead singer and guitar player in a band and take a trip with them to Thailand.It is so cool-she is the youngest band member and this is a HUGE church so for her to be asked is a HUGE HONOR! She is leaving today for this trip. I am so proud of her-she is amazingly talented and such an incredible person! They are going to a missionary support seminar (missionaries from all over are coming to a HUGE resort in Thailand for some R&R and classes) My little sis will be there to provide music and fun for them and the teenagers of the families. I am so excited for her BUT i am worried too-it is several long flights and she will be gone for about 17 days. I was wondering if you would keep her in your prayers-they are concerned about customs in Hong Kong-they are not doing anything illeagal but apparently things can get rough traveling and some officals can ask for $$$ and such...the church is well prepared but you know to me she is just a kid still Anyway~please just think of her,her name is Colleen,and pray all goes smooth! I will update you all on her FUN when we hear. Thank you Abbie

Maddie&EthansMom replied: That is pretty young, but she sounds adventurous. I'm sure she will be fine. In the meantime I will keep her and her worrisome big sis in my prayers.

C&K*s Mommie replied: Prayers for her on everything mentioned, and more that may not hav been asked for. Prayers for you that you will be able to settle your nerves about her and this once in a lifetime trip.

kit_kats_mom replied: That is a LONG trip. I think my mom said she was airborne for 24 hours total when she flew there three years ago. Says it's beautiful though
I'll be thinking of your sis.

coasterqueen replied: Wow, brave girl. I'd be scared to death to travel like that.

She will definitely be in my thoughts.

TANNER'S MOM replied: You know Ab when I call you ..I am gonna make u sing to me.. if your sis can you can!

Oh that is great..but I understand you worry. I worry about my kids going across the street..and she is so talented she is going across the world. But she is doing it to glorify God..so she will be perfectly safe!

Now you on the other hand..if you don't call me .. You might need to hop a plane too. Cause I am worried and I have been calling and nothing???

punkeemunkee'smom replied: Thank you all! They made it safely to Hong Kong. My mom checked flight schedules I know she is going to have an amazing time,she loves these kind of trips. They went wayyyy down into Mexico lastyear( 2 of my other siblings were there too) I always tell her she is going to be so world wise by the time she is my age Thank you again for the prayers! I will keep you updated

punkeemunkee'smom replied: I was wrong they made it LAX safely and took off for Hong Kong safe but they won't get to Hong Kong until around 6:45 tonight! I guess i was not listening well.....
