Almost the End

I can't believe my time in Thailand is almost over. It is Saturday afternoon here and we will be leaving Chaing Mai heading to Bangkok tomorrow afternoon. We will be spending the night in Bangkok and heading to Tokyo, Chicago and then home on Monday.

This has been an amazing experience. I have gotten to see and do so many neat things. I am tired and will enjoy getting to see my family, but would not trade this for anything.

Yesterday was family day for the M's, so my kids were picked up at 12:00 and then we got to go out and have some sightseeing. We went to the elephant farm and it was unbelievable. We rode on the elephants and got to feed them. They were just walking around. It was amazing. We then got to go the orchid and butterfly farm. AMAZING. I got a lot of good pictures.

The kids in my room are doing so much better. They are finally getting use to us and the routine (now that is almost time to go). They are really sweet and it is amazing to hear some of their family stories.

I am on break right now and need to get back. Thanks again for the prayers. I have felt them. Please continue to pray as we wrap up tomorrow and head home. I can't wait to see and talk to you. I have lots of stories.

Talk to you soon.

I'm Here!

Hey everybody. I'm in Thailand and everything is going really well. The flight was as uneventful as possible. Long - but really good. We didn't have any problems and everyone from our flight got their bags without any problems. It is so neat here and I still can't believe I am half way across the world.

Yesterday was my first day with my kids and let's just say it was a day. A lot of these kids have never been away from their parents. I ended up only getting about a 10 minute break all day. Let's hope today is better! The kids are precious and most of them did fine. Some just got a little extra love ALL DAY LONG!!

Last night a big group of us went to the night market. It was a sea of bargins and unbelievable things. I could have lost myself there. My mom and aunt would have been in heaven. It was like a huge flea market. I bought a few things. Everything is so cheap - NICE!! On the way home we rode a tuk-tuk. It was amazing! I have pictures. Tonight we are going to the Gem Market. That can only mean trouble!

Thanks so much for your prayers. They are truly felt and I appreciate all your support!

More later from Thailand....
