Hello everyone,
I am borrowing someone's aircard to get online. Connection is slow and it is expense, so I will be brief. Thanks for the prayers. We arrived in Wiang Pa Pao, home of Grace Place, Thailand, yesterday early afternoon. The children were waiting for us. As I type this, I can hear them outside playing and having a great time with our team. It is a bit past 8am here and the team is just finishing serving them pancakes. Contrary to the Cambodia kids, who kept coming back for more until there was no more left, the kids here weren't too crazy about the pancakes.But they did enjoy it and had a great time.
Please keep praying for the general health of the team. Stomach issues are still a problem, though imodium has done the trick for several of our team members. Everybody is in good spirits. There is a great amount of cooperation among team members and we are having a blast with the kids here.
It's a bit chilly here today (we are up in the higher elevation of northern Thailand), so we changed our plans a little. We are taking all kids and staff to a chinese buffet for lunch today. That will be a first for the children and it will give the staff a little break. Then we will go together to Hot Springs, where natural hot waters will restore our bodies and minds to perfect health. :) The kids will have fun especially since it will not be cold water. After we return today we will look at the products the widows make here and buy some things from them, then we will have dinner, enjoy worship together and distribute the gifts so many of you sent to your children. It will be a busy day.
Thank you in advance for your prayers!

I was thinking of and praying for you all yesterday as I ran in the SNOW! (but it sounds like the heat is not as much of an issue where you are at right now). As I noticed my footprints in the snow, I thought how insignificant and short-lasting they are in contrast to the "spiritual footprints" you will leave behind after this trip. May God continue to change your hearts and those you minister to for eternity!
Lots more hugs and smiles to the kids!!!!- Melissa L
