cranking
Its great to hang with the whole fam once more. With five plates set out at the table. we normally set five out at home and then realise that tom is in thailand, except when ryan comes to eat, then the fifth get put back out. :-)
hey Tom is crazy (he is seriously thai) it's true. he speak, lives and eats like one. its amazing and it is God who enables him to speak like he does. His church family put on a feast last night to say goodbye to the rest of our fam and toms mate somphon (full bomber guy!). His church family here is great. fully welcoming to him and everyone who comes.
All toms gdogs (mates) here are full nice. it has been great to meet them all. I feel like they are my mates and i only meet them a few times each. from peoples testimonies here... they are challanged so much, not just DTS but just life in church here... i can only imagine what God will do through the people here.
WORRRD out...
God bless!

In the thaiLAND of my brother!
Hey crew.
We are in Chiang Mai! Full up towards the top of Thailand. We jumped on a plane full early this morning and started the trek. After just over 6 hours of flying... we had a "one" hour stop over in Bangkok = 1 hour in the terminal & 1 on the tarmack. But honestly it was really cool :-) On the rest of the plane trip sat right next to some people talking about evangelism. So decided to talk to them. They are here short term, and will be encouraging Christians. Got their email to catch up... go the crew all the way from America!
We got here and booked into our hotel and then went cruisin'...
1. We grabbed our complimentary free drink from the lobby.
2. stopped by MacD's - I cranked out the double cheese burger (i thought of you matty mort - GO THE CHEESE! I got myself a FEEEEEEEDDD!!!!) Mum and Dad got into the PORK burgers? And BRUCE(camille) got into the good old chicken! what a HUGE way to start off in ASIA - the land of the noodle!
3. We stopped by the 7/11 - purchased some pepsi (good chris!!!) - ice & fire flavours? haven't drunk them yet.
4. Dad bought a lovely pair of Board shorts
5. Then we walked all the way here - the internet cafe - costing us a grand total of $1 per hour.
And is's only 15:40 - we got so much more of the day to go. Go the markets night. On friday we should be moving on up to Mai Taeng to visit Tommy. CAN'T WAIT! will keep you posted.
WORRRD OUT!
