The Land of the Smiles. Thailand!

A Buddist Temple


Beautiful Thailand!








Our first team breakfast!





This is Dragon Fruit.





Hello from Thailand! We are all safe and sound and have been so enjoying everything so far. We got in Friday the 9th at about 2 am! tried to get some sleep and then headed into a full day of exploring the area. The food here is GRAND, and so is walking to the market everyday for meals. There are 7/11's here! A small taste of home :)



This past Monday the 11th we started our ministry time. It's been so sweet.. I'm experiencing God like never before. This past week consisted of: Early mornings and late nights of ministry. Prayer, prayer, prayer. Walks to the market and good converstation around the table while eating. We ventured to the night market and found a star bucks, mcdonalds and haggen das along the way! Motor bikes zooming by. Quiet whispers from God. Elephants along the side of the road!! ROTEE.. a wonderful Thai dessert with fried bananas and chocolate drenched in butter. (we're all convinced we'll gain weight instead of loosing it!!) . Yummy fresh fruit. The gorgeous children that steal your heart with one look. Talking to women who are desperate for Jesus but just dont know it yet.



The heat isnt bad And guess what?! We've got hot showers! Everywhere you go western music can be heared. Today I heard Taylor Swift and Beyonce. haha. I love it here. The people are absolutely so hospitable. I'm getting used to chop sticks.


more to come!!

i love and miss you desperately, but i'm so enthralled by what God is doing in, through, and around you. Abundant blessing my beautiful sister. You have only scratched the service of the marvelous gift Dad has for you. He loves you desperately and thoroughly and will use every last bit of everything you are to change the world around you and bring the most beautiful of glories to him!
The overwhelming pride i feel from Dad for you is insatiable!

Be blessed blessed blessed! I'm praying for you, and i anticipate hearing more of your many adventures, discoveries, and heart changes!

love love love
and some love
