Hello to All:

It is Friday evening and we are back in Chiang Mai. We apologize that we did not get anything posted yesterday but there was no Internet access at the hotel last night.

There is so much to share that words cannot express everything that we are feeling.

It was an awesome day yesterday and today as well.

As we were sharing the story of "Jesus Blesses the Children" yesterday, we asked if Jesus were to come today, "What would you say?" One young lady said that she would say, "I Love You Jesus!" As we were sharing the meaning of Easter and the resurrection of Christ and then into the Evangicube there were tears from one young lady. We were able to tell them that if any had questions about becoming a child of God that they could come to any of us anytime during the day and visit with us on a one on one basis. We know for sure that seeds are continuing to be planted and that hearts are searching.

At dinner last night, we received the word that there had been lots of discussion with VCSF in regards to our returning next year and being able to have someone from the Foundation help us next year. Prayers were answered, as we were told that the decision had been made for Calvary of Neosho, the Cassville Team, and a couple of other churches to be able to return to our schools. GOD HAS AN AMAZING PLAN. We will be returning next year!!!! PRAISE GOD. To walk out on these children now is just not right. The children remember Jonathan, Kara, Marinda and Leona from the first two years and the relationship that has been built is undescribable.

The opportunity to witness to these children and the teachers was more open this year and we were able to be more bold in our stories than in the past. God just keeps opening the doors for us to reach these kids.

Today was our last day and we spent the day doing a carnival. They did not know what a school carnival was. Fun was had by all, including teachers, interpreters and the team. A few things to change next year but we have never done this before and we will have to work some of the kinks out but all was well.

We traveled down the mountain with no problems. No one on the team got ill, including Leona, praise God. We did have an incident where someone on a motorcycle pulled out in front of our van and our van driver handled it very well. God was with us all the way. We had a very kind and helpful van driver and were thankful for him.

All has been an amazing jouney. One young lady said, "I MISS YOU ALREADY!"

This will be our last opportunity for posting as we will be leaving tomorrow to fly back to Bangkok and there will be no more time.

Please know that we love you all and please continue to pray for us as we travel home. We will see all on Sunday.

THANK YOU ALL FOR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS!
WE LOVE YOU!

Blessings in Christ,
