THAILAND

Good Morning!

This week in Thailand has gone by quickly.  The main reason for our trip was to meet with missionaries from this region and that we have enjoyed immensely.  It has been a great time of fun, fellowship and great ministry from the Word.  We have had a couple of trips around Chang Mai.  The first was to a Mall…not my idea of shopping…it was just like any Asian mall however we did find a few interesting item.  Of greater interest will be our trip tonight to the Night Market.  Yesterday we had a great visit to Grace International School.  Phil had been there before but I enjoyed the tour…it was fun to compare all the similarities and differences with Faith Academy.  Within minutes of arriving, a former Faith  teacher and volleyball coach discovered we were there and we were delighted to have a short visit together. Today is the last day of the conference (ugh..I have to pack again).  We hope to get to a little outlet for a special pottery made in this part of Thailand and then as I mentioned the Night Market this evening.  We head to Manila tomorrow morning.  Pictures to come.  The trip to the Elephant Farm did not happen so that was a bit of a disappointment…not really, it means we will just have to return to Thailand some day.
