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....

I was so thrilled to get to talk to you last night. I hope today will be not so chaotic and the children will adjust quickly. Wish Aunt Lin and I were there to shop with you! Hannah and David are OK. I know she will be elated to see you. I love you so much, honey.

Rach- I am so glad things are going good. Your first day sounds like my today (40 kids playing in the fountians at Bicentennial Mall and a staff person asking me what she should do). What in the world is a tuk-tuk? Everyone here is aking about you (including some poeple at Hannahs school who say they work with you...no clue who they are!). Enjoy the rest of your visit and can't wait to see you. Hannah is doing really well! She tells everyone you are in Ty-yand! We miss you (lots)!

I love you,
David
