First Week's Pictures

Hey everyone,
It's been a wild week and a half for us! We survived the marathon flight to Thailand, conquered
jet lag (more or less), found a house, found some furniture, learned to drive on the left, ate some spicy food, made some new friends, and started new teacher orientation (for Tim). Here's a few pictures to capture the last nine days.  
Friendly Juni is taking Southeast Asia by storm.
Tim rented this sweet hog (or is it a piglet?)
Here's the entrance to our new neighborhood, Mu Ban Khwam Wiang.
Playgrounds make us hope the tetanus shots are up to date.
Yum!
Angry Birds are big here.
Jill in her new kitchen. New sink, cook top, and oven. And we're not even camping!
Jill's new laundry lean-to.
We're still searching for a vehicle, getting our internet working, completing all the government paperwork, and preparing for school--it starts in two weeks! Thanks for your continued prayers as we settle down here.

  2. Oh my! Those chickens hanging...brings back nightmares from my stint working on a chicken farm! Blech! Love the pictures into your new world. Missing your faces on Sunday but so excited for the people who get to be your friends in Thailand. They don't know it yet, but they are blessed! Trena

  5. I really miss George in 3rd/4th grade class. Just not quite the same without him! We will pray for him (and all of you) in class tomorrow (8/12). Blessings

    1. Thanks for the prayers, Joel. George is missing church and lots of his friends. It was a great year at Summit Ridge getting to know some amazing people, like you and your wife! Makes it all the more difficult to say goodbye though :(
