On the road
We've had a lot of time in different villages. I've seen so much over the last 2 weeks. My first week was in a village called Panakok. It was a really cool village and everyone there was so friendly. We did medical training and made some house visits. One thing we need to teach the people in the village is how to clean and be sanitary! I have hand sanitizer everywhere I go. My second week my group was supposed to go out to a remote village but plans changed last second and we ended up meeting up with the other group in their village. So the past week has been awesome. Now I have soooo much video to look through, but I'll have lots and lots of time. Within the next few days I'm going to be going to a very remote village with 3 other people. It's kinda bad because I won't even have electricity or internet for the first week. Then the next month I will have electricity, but no phone or internet. So wish me luck. This will be the biggest test of my patience and hopefully I will be able to keep my sanity. I will probably be reading a lot, and learn to like it. The plan as of right now is that I am returning to civilization around December 6 or so. But until then just pray for me. I think about you guys at home all the time and thanks for checking up on me!!! It really means a lot to me. Miss you!!!!!

Gone for a bit
Hey everyone, I’m getting ready to go out to the village for a month. That could mean all kinds of things for me. I may or may not have internet access out there so if I don’t post for a little while that’s the reason! We’ve been working on some last minute stuff here to prepare to leave. Other than that it’s been lots of fun. We went to the Chiang Mai night market for the first time the other night. It was awesome! You bargain with the sellers, it’s so much fun. I love the price of food here. I can get a full meal that fills me up with a drink for like a dollar! Love it! I’m excited for the next few weeks. Hopefully we get some good footage to use for the videos. Oh yeah thank you for all of your comments!!! I love hearing back from you and knowing that you’re reading this so keep commenting even if you already have…and even if I don’t know you and you’re reading this you can comment too haha. If anyone wants to send me real mail, letters or anything, I think I have an address you can send to. It takes a few weeks to get here if you use regular mail. But please send something, it’s nice to get real mail…
