After four awesome and crazy travel days of no showers and wearing the same clothes. Four amazing days that consisted of four plane rides, three bus rides, two rides in the back of a truck, and many hours spent sitting in airports and bus stations we made it to Thailand. Although, I have only been here for two days I love everything about it.

The people we are working with are amazing and you can tell they love what they are doing. I am thankful we get to serve them this month. We didn't really know what are ministry was going to look like this month till we got here.
We found out for this month we get to sleep in are tents. Although, we will be getting to stay five days in a house which will be amazing. For the most parts we will be in are tents. Everyday we get to work against the jungle. We are seriously cutting down the jungle with machetes. Wasn't sure how I was going to like it but after I cut my first tree down I was in love. It's amazing to see the progress as we go.

We also get to work in the garden weeding not only the garden but also the land behind it. We hope to plant bananas and pineapples later this month. After we weed a spot for them.
In the evening we get to go and spend time with the kids eating dinner and playing games its amazing. The kids are so full of joy. I'm excited to get to love on these kids and build relationships with them this month.
So that is just a little view of how my month is going to look. There is a lot of hard work going into this place but I know it's worth it. I'm definitely going to be busy all month and I'm thankful that there is a lot to do here. I just hope that I can serve these people well and continue to lay my own life down everyday and live like Christ. So that He can be seen threw me in everything I do.
Just so you can see the progress we are making here are some before and after pictures of the jungle. This is what twelve girls can do in just three days.
