Day one in Chaingmai

---

departed Brisbane yesterday at 2pm and 12 hours later arrived in chaingmai. straight to hotel and to bed! had a lovely day today with Kylie, Abbey and Norli. Took a tuktuk around town for an hour, organised shirts to be made for Matthew and went to the gem factory. I managed to control my spending impulse. off to dinner tonight with ian and his wife, and then preparing for trip to Mae Sot and the refugee camp. We are all well and healthy, abbey slightly suffering from sinus attack on the plane.
love to everyonexxxxx

Praying for you
Hi, Just wanted you to know that we missed you last night at Lifegroup. Great study and great input from everyone in group including Joe. Matt had to take Georgia to Rugby but hopes to join us next week. Life as normal, Stuart is busy, Matt is quiet, Josh is making a surprise visit home and I am busily preparing for 4 weeks of fulltime work. Am looking forward to it. Immanuel has had a tough week and so have we as Cam (Man arts teacher) and Kristie lost their fullterm baby. They are very good friends of ours. I am looking forward to reading your blogs. It was great to pray for you both last night. Glad you are having a good time. Love you both Trish
