Helllllooooo everyone!!! I know it's been a while and I apologize for that. There's so much to say so I'll just mention a few of the highlights of the past month and a half. Here's the super condensed version of my time. Once February started Rob and I took a much need weekend break to the beach. We rode the bus/train for a total of about 30 hours within 4 days to get to the beach and back, but it was totally worth it. We were able to meet up with the new student missionaries in Bangkok. After the beach weekend I finished up my videos and we headed to the villages again. I was definitely ready to be back in the jungle. I had some amazing experiences there. We visited Akha and Karen villages, and once again traveled hours to get to them. The last weekend of Feb. the Bangkok SM's came up to visit our home in Chiang Mai for a weekend. We showed them around and I think we all had a good time. Last week I flew out to Singapore and it was a lot of fun. Singapore is a complete contrast of Thailand (open/clean/expensive city), but it was nice to have a change. Now I'm back in Bangkok hanging out with the Brandan, Cory, and Robin the rest of the week. I'm not sure what happens next but I'm enjoying every minute here.

Jesus for Asia Promo
Here's a short promotional video for the organization I work for that I helped put together.
Working hard
This week Brian, Rob, and I moved into our own house nearby Pastor's house. We even have chickens and roosters running around the yard. It's nice to have our own place. It makes working a lot easier. The past few weeks have been pretty good. We went to a nearby city named Lamphun for about a week. I would rather be in the villages b/c I spend too much money in the cities (it's hard to resist a $3/hour massage). Anyway, we've been working on some video stuff and sometimes work seems to go slow, but that's just how the video editing process goes. My computer battery might die in a few minutes so next time I get on I'll try to post a short video for you to see...thanks for reading. I miss you all!

Back in THAILAND!
So Brian and I got back to Thailand yesterday and it feels nice to be back. We arrived into Bangkok in the afternoon and took an overnight bus to Chiang Mai (it was about a 9 or 10 hour ride). We reunited with the rest of the group and it was really good to see everyone. Everyone else went to Cambodia and Vietnam so we told stories of some of our experiences. I loved Indonesia and definitely plan to go back someday, but I'm definitely gonna enjoy the rest of my time here in Thailand. This month will be spent editing video at our home base in Chiang Mai (that's the plan as of right now). I'm just so grateful that God is allowing me to have this experience and has kept me safe throughout the whole time so far. Please keep me in your prayers and don't be afraid to write to me!
