Updates from our home in the jungle!

Students


I have had a lot of people asking me what is happening now…how many kids do I have anyway??? Well, at last count I can say that I have three, but not the same three I thought that I was going to have. On Sunday, I got my first two students. Kinthegee is 19 years…read more.

The Latest


I keep writing new things to put on here, and by the time I get to the internet, everything has changed again and it is no longer relevant! So, here is the latest: Yesterday, I was sitting in my house, peacefully trying to calm the screaming Hannah, when Travis came in and told me that…read more.

Getting Settled


Things are just beginning to settle down a little bit. I hope that I don’t have many weeks like the last one, or I might just have to lay down and cry with the babies! Last night we had a big meeting with the parents of my two little girls, and the caretaker and his…read more.

A STRESSFUL Week


I wrote up a whole bunch of things to tell you when I could get to internet, but I am going to discard them and just tell you how things are right now! (they are changing all the time) Early this week, Hannah’s father showed up at the training center. I found out that he…read more.

Swimming In Blessings


What a day can bring is simply amazing! Yesterday morning, after treating my two patients, who are both recovering nicely, I ran up to the training center to call Roy. While I was busily chatting with him, I saw the caretaker and his wife zoom away on my motorbike. I thought that it was odd…read more.

Ready Or Not…..The People Come


As you all know, I have been attempting  to pretty much hide in my hut, so to speak, trying to learn Karen and Thai as fast as I can….which is pretty slow. But, through an innocent incident, that no longer seems to be possible! Jason was on his way to town when the neighbor lady,…read more.

The Evils of Visa Runs


Sorry guys, but probably every 4 months you can expect me to tell you all about how terrible Thai culture can be! Travis and I left on Sunday for our visa run to Lao, and it was horrid! They actually had the nerve to play an X-rated movie on a public bus full of people!…read more.

Babylon??????


Babylon means confusion, right? Well, that could pretty well describe my home right about now. In one corner, we have English translation, and from the corner nearest me I hear “wee thu sue deh duh blah”, and from other corners come other unintelligible sounds while we all diligently practice our Karen lesson for tonight. You…read more.

Who Is Gayle?


I love getting feedback from people! I was sitting here wondering what I was going to write about today when I got an email from my brother saying that several people from his church were asking about the lady that is staying with me! That makes it easy…today I will tell you all about Gayle.…read more.

What Roy Is Up To


While we are busily roasting in Asia, Roy and Tremaynne are back in the States traveling. When they got to America, the first thing that they did was to go straight to Canada and spend the rest of the week visiting with Tremaynnes family. Roy was able to give the mission story in their church…read more.
