Welcome to Chaiyaphum, Thailand!
We have Officially moved in!
9/13/2015 A date to remember as the start of our ministry in Thailand!
Our rooms are set up…. (yes mom, my bed IS the messiest.. no I haven’t changed… it has only been a week!!)
We have AMAZING hosts, Raem (far left) and Sanan (bottom left).
Im so thankful for these beautiful souls.
They don’t speak very fluent english, which makes communicating a little difficult at times, but we all work together (with some poor attempt at charades by yours truly). God has truly blessed us with some amazing kind-hearted people.
Stop: please take a moment and pray for Raem and Sanan and their family. Imagine taking in 6 students into your life!! Thank our Lord for their patience and their servant hearts.
They have 5 children, including 2 orphans, and these children are so fun! They only speak Thai, except for their proud numbers and alphabet in english. They are so cute 🙂 My favorite is when they come home from school and we get to play games together :P. Im a child at heart <3.
They have built a place for Raem’s parents next door, and currently they are living on the rice farm down the road.
(Oh, did I mention that we got to farm today?! Very muddy and very rainy).
Wha and Plai are our “translators” for the week. They came up from YWAM Bangkok with us for the experience. I use the word ‘translators’ loosely, because they don’t know much english at all, but they are great! We all learn from each other and we get to teach them silly hand shakes where a “squirrel” runs up your arm :”D (pictured above).

Please pray for our team, that we can come together, put aside our differences, and move into unity through Christ. I believe we will be the strongest when we work together, even if this means putting someone else in front of ourselves and really work on having Romans 15:7 on our hearts.

Till next time..
Stay Weird xx
