we apologize.
our internet has been down
then this site turned into thai characters
so it has been [heaven] trying to make updates.
but here it is, with love 8,478 miles away...
the team working at Baan Nam Jai has had an indescribable amount of fun
with the kids there.
we do a craft with them for the first hour or so...or as long as they decide they want to.
then we just play.
just love.
just hold
and spin, laugh, sing, chase, and hug.
after its our time to leave, we climb into our sung tao [taxi-bus-thing]
and head back to our home...
balcony view
..and meet with the rest of the team for
DINNER.
we have been trying hit up as many rice and noodle shops as possible.
but this place is one of our favorites.
after a divine meal of pad thai, cou pot gai, pad see yu or whatever they think we ordered in broken thai
we chill a little.
saturday was the
night bazaar.
festive lights
bustling tourists
exotic smells
eager merchants
and a bunch of forongs [foreigners] soaking all the culture in.
thats just a pin hole glimpse into our lives here.
a fraction of the beauty that exists in
the countryside
the people
the air
basically
were not coming home.
or we are
with a kid or two.
....just playing, mom.
God has been, is currently, and will continue to be
so good.
well try to be writing again soon.
love,
maia

Maia,
If we show up with 2 comments, please forgive - I already left one, but evidently I did not "publish" it! :( I was so surprised to see that you wrote this blog! What a treat! We miss you terribly but we know that you are where God wants you to be, doing what He wants you to do (and what you want to do, too!) We're praying for all of you daily.
Love,
Mom & Dad "B"

and remember that
your god is massive.
is capable of everything
and anything.
and wants to do it
through you. in thailand.

into whatever god has planned for them.
