mae sot bugs

We had a good trial run at some kids games at a small orphanage

Houses overlooking the Burmese border where we did a prayer walk today

Hi Guys,
we're into another day and Dan wins the prize for the first person to get sick. He had it going both ends and has been out of action all day. We've confined him to barracks (the guest house) to try and give him a chance to recover. Its always hard though when you go somewhere to do mission, you want to be where God wants you but you get layed low with sickness. So its been a tough day for Dan. Be praying also for Sonya.
Today we went on a prayer walk with the team from Brisbane who we met on board the plane to Chiang Rai. Funny how our paths continue to keep crossing!!! We walked with Philip and he showed us the area he's ministering to.
This arvo we went to meet Niell and Dianna and to see an orphanage they run. Tonight we're catching up with them over dinner to hopefully get some insights as to how their ministry is going and also how long term missionaries function.
Yesterday we managed somehow to get away with double booking oursevles for new years eve parties (both a day early-go figure!), and we were able to encourage those we saw at both events also.
Thanks for your prayers, they're really useful. Blessings, to all and hope your new years eve celebrations are an encouragement to all!
