Hey Everyone!
 
This is officially the last update you will be receiving before we return home! I don’t think any of us can believe it is almost over. We will be thinking about the hostel a lot as we leave and return home. God is doing a lot of great things here with the staff and the kids... More

We have some amazing pictures of our time in Thailand!  Click on a photo for it to enlarge into a slide show.  Enjoy! More

We have been at the hostel for about a week now and are pretty sure about most of the kid’s names, kinda. Now that we look back on it, it
seems impossible to have packed so many experiences into one week... More

It's hard to believe today is 1 week from when we leave for Thailand! We are feeling so at home with the people and the lifestyle that it will be hard to go, but we're excited to see what Christ has for us in Chaing Mai. It is amazing to reflect on all that has happened here and realize it has only been 3 weeks... More

Hey everybody at home!

We are doing very well. It seems everyone has adjusted to the time change and is getting a full night of rest. We are becoming much more confident in our ability to find our way around the city as well.

It was nice to learn about what it is like to be a young adult on this side of the world. We taught them some games, sang songs with them, and held an issue discussion on topics like "dating" and "human trafficking." One of the traditional American songs we sang was Amazing Grace, and then we had them interpret some of the words of the song. We got to explain what they meant in the context of the song. We also talked about holidays—we shared about traditions and the meaning behind Christmas, and they told us about some of their holidays.

Family, friends, and supporters,

We have arrived in Myanmar and are having a wonderful time! It is out fourth full day here, and we are slowly getting adapted to the time change. The past few nights each of us have woken up around 3:30 in the morning, and we realized that this is sometime around 2:00 in the afternoon at home! We arrived on Saturday and were met by James, his daughter Mary, and two Americans. We jumped right into things on Sunday... More

Team Myanmar-Thailand arrived safely to its destination! Thank you for your prayers of safety as they traveled.  Continue to keep them in your prayers during these initial days of getting settled. Check back in for their weekly updates. More
