Hey everyone, thanks for all your messages and prayers. We are really enjoying our time here, and have fallen in love with all the children. They never ever cry or even flinch, when the get a needle, or drilled, or tooth pulled out. They are so polite. We usually have over 10 kids in the waiting area, and we have been entertaining them with picture books, drawing and songs - They are so patient and cute😊 Abbey, Rachel and Grant (young couple from Gold Coast) teaching at the camp, all went to the wrist tying festival, and they tie cotton around each others wrist to remember their relatives. All up 160 000 Karen refugees in the camps, the one we are at is the largest. They are not allowed to leave teh camp, though occassionally some get approved to immigrate to Australia, US, and Canada. Hope everyone is well. love lisa

g'day
Hi Lisa and Abbey, Glad to read you are both well and happy. The dental program sounds like it is really needed and everyone is doing a great job. The food details are making me most envious and the weather as well. (it is only a max. of 12 degrees today) Love Jeffrey
