First Thailand Update

Since our arrival on December 29th things have been good. Our days have consisted of recovering from jetlag, understanding our community and surroundings, getting needed supplies plus phone plans setup and very gracious meetings with many current missionaries.

Here are some more pictures over the last week to go along with the newsletter update. We continue to be blessed by everyone's support!!
