photos
Ok guys...I have posted photos on my album...so click on my link on the right....also, just to let you know, the comment box has been shut down so I am unable to read any of those sweet little comments you guys have left me (assuming that you are leaving comments), so I apologize for not commenting back. But check out the photos all the same...Lu, I've put some of the church and the kids from the village on there just for you!!!
Here it is...the old post.
I find that being in Asia always brings with it adventures and random events...if you are willing to walk down alleys and introduce yourself to large groups of strangers that don't speak your language, you are in for a treat!
We spent about a week in total in the north and stayed in the small town of Chiang Khong for about 5 of those days. That is the place we will likely be living, and there are two villages on either side of it that we will be working in. About 2 days before we left I started my wanderings...I ambled down this back street where foreigners obviously never venture (I gathered that from the pointing, the giggling, and the stares), and I saw a bunch of people playing badminton and soccer at the end of the alley. I decided I should join them as they looked like they were having fun, and before I knew it, I was sitting down and eating all kinds of fruit and singing them songs. Around 8pm it seemed as if they decided it was time for me to go home, so all the kids accompanied me so that I didn't have to walk alone. My journey back to the guesthouse was a fun one filled with laughter, loud talking, the kids trying to teach me thai, frogs, geckos, dookays (evil lizards that bite and never let go), and loads of light-swarming bugs. As they left me at my door they told me to come back to theirs’ when they finished school the following day.
The next day, Reg and I decided to explore...Ajarn (pastor) Sohn lent us his truck so we were able to easily get ourselves around. Basically we ended up driving into the jungle and when we could drive no further we parked the truck and hiked the rest of the way...we found ourselves two waterfalls and were literally wandering through real jungle!! We didn't see any snakes or spiders, which was nice, but somewhat disappointing, as you always want to be able to say that you saw those things. We drove back into town, ate lunch, and found out from someone at the restaurant that there was another waterfall about 30 minutes from there. We decided to check it out and this adventure became much more wild than what we had experienced that morning. We drove through villages and past water buffalo into very remote places. We came to a village and could go no further, and it was absolutely pouring outside...a villager invited us in out of the rain, and once it lightened up a bit we began our 3km walk to the waterfall...it started raining harder and we had to walk barefoot through rivers and mud on a path that was only a foot wide...through corn fields, past terraces and into the jungle. There was nothing but the sound of our laughter and unidentifiable jungle bugs that resembled the sound of chain saws. We never actually made it all the way to the waterfall (an adventure for another time) because I had to get back to see my new found friends…an evening filled with more fruit, more of me singing to the group, learning Thai, and a mini badminton tournament. This group was quite accepting of the crazy farang that had stumbled into their little soy, and told me that when we return in a year that I must come and see them. Once again, the children accompanied me home, and once again I had to say goodbye.
We left Chiang Khong that morning and made our way back to the big city of Chiang Rai. We spent the night and it was there in a small internet café that I made a new friend...a beautiful girl who graciously told me her story and let me into her life. I don’t know that I can say that I have had many experiences where I immediately felt love toward someone, but I definitely did here. I was really grateful for her, and will be connecting with her again in Bangkok in a week. Please pray for her to fall in love with Jesus who is so obviously pursuing her…
That next morning Reg and I boarded a plane to Bangkok (seriously, what a wonderful way to travel), and upon arrival we parted ways...he headed to Phuket and I am now in Pattaya where I will be for the next 5 days. Bitsy worked here for 9 months last year, so I am here meeting her friends and spending time with her before our rigorous schedule of language study begins. I have never been anywhere like this...Pattaya is a city that breaks my heart...it makes me sad, it makes me angry, it disgusts me. This is the centre for prostitution and anything else horrible in this country. Pretty much every foreigner you see is here for something immoral. I know it saddens God, and I also know that he has a great amount of love for these people...it is here that the light seems so much brighter and the darkness seems so much darker. God, please be drawing people to yourself!!!

Shoot!!!
So I wrote this really great post with photos and all, then my time ran out and I couldn't load anything. I'm still going to post that one eventually, but until then i'm just going to whet your appetites and let you know what's up...
i am currently in Pattaya....basically Thailand's 'sin city'. Home to an incredible amount of prostitution and other such things. it's quite shocking actually...nothing like the rest of Thailand. anyway, i arrived here on thursday and will be staying until Tuesday. Bitsy, a member of my team, lived here for 9 months last year and wanted me to come down and meet her friends and see where she lived...that's what we have been doing.
today we went and worked in the slums with world vision...we had kids hanging off of us all morning. it was wonderful!!! there was this beautiful little girl (and I mean LITTLE!!! i could have pur her in my pocket!) who kind of stood off to the side and wasn't quite sure what to make of us white girls, until i picked her up and started throwing her in the air. she laughed and laughed, then came and sat on my lap for the rest of the time. Would anyone be opposed to me bringing home a whole slew of children in 3 years? mama jess...
tomorrow we will be joining something called Street Church...they have worship in a pub on what is called "walking street" (where all the prostitutes walk, and all the foreigners flock to). they literally have church right there in the middle of it! It's great! There are so many people here with a heart to serve and love those who are caught up in this horrible industry. I'm so glad for them!!!
Anyway, I know I have promised photos and they are still coming. I have some good ones!!! As soon as I have a solid connection and a bit of stability you are all going to be overwhelmed!!!
Peace and love to you all!!!

Northern Journeys...
The following paragraphs are excerpts from my journal...we are currently in a small mountain village called Chiang Khong, right on the border of Laos. Our internet is limited, thus journal excerpts.
From May 17th- "I am venturing into some unchartered territory...Chiang Rai. I have never before been there and I don't know what I am going to see. As we journey north on transportation much more posh than I have previously experienced in Thailand (flights are so cheap! Why have I never done this before?) I look at the two Thai men beside me and realise one thing...I am a giant. My legs are pressed uncomfortably into the seat in front of me and they have space unimaginable even as they slouch! Apparently the Khmu people we will be meeting in the north are much smaller than the average Thai person. At least I won't ever get lost in a crowd.
On our way to the airport this morning our taxi got a flat tire on an unbelievably huge and busy highway. Props to our driver who changed it in under 5 minutes!
My plane buddies just woke up and ordered themselves some "cafe yen" (iced coffee) and some sandwiches and proceeded to ask me numerous times if I wanted some. They were going to pay, and also buy something for Reg who is sitting somewhere else. They haven't even spoken to him. I love them!"
From May 18th- "Chiang Rai was similar to any other Thai city...home to fantastic markets (where I bought 3 mangos for 50 cents), tuk tuks, and plenty of foreignors. Bitsy and I explored, got lost, found Thai dancing, and di our best to get a feel for the city.
Early this morning we all piled into a van and drove literally into the middle of nowhere. we bounced down rugged roads getting deeper into the jungle's foliage, and more surrounded by tree carpeted mountains. Before I knew it the wide expanse of the Mekong River was before me and the land just beyond it...Laos. What an amazing sight! Even as I sit here and write I can hear the music floating across the river...and it is here that will likely be home within a year's time."
Today- We are still in Chiang Khong, the village just across the river from Laos. We had the opportunity to go to a village where there are some believers. They have been working for years in that place with much opposition from other villagers...these people have been faithful. We spent some time playing with the children which crawled all over us, brushed my hair, made me drink water out of toy cups (hopefully i don't get too sick), and let us love them. What an awesome time it was!!!
Just to let you all know how you can best pray for us...I have been really struggling with adjusting to this place and this culture. I think I'm experiencing culture shock for the first time in my life...I realise more and more everyday just how much satan doesn't want us in this place. The north has been a wasteland for missionaries in the past and I think that we as a team are coming to face the difficulty of this task, the mangnitude of our committment, and the vast distance that lays between us and all that we know. I don't think I have ever struggled like this before. Also, Phil has started having seizures again...he had gone nearly 4 months seizure free and then once we arrived in Thailand he had one, and then another one the following day. It discouraged all of us. It brought questions into our minds about being here...we need your prayers.
I have lots of great photos, just no place to upload them at the moment so continue to be patient and I will have plenty of treats for your eyes. Thank you to all of those who have been praying and have been sending encouraging emails and such. I have needed them more than you know at this time. You have been real God sends to me. Thank you!!!

Ghost With a Shirt on...
I've been here about a week and I'm already making discoveries. I wouldn't say that I'm making head way, but I am learning stuff. Take for instance this tonal treat...the word for "shirt" and the word for "tiger" are the exact same, only one is said with a rising tone and the other is said with a falling tone. So, we joked about telling people to check out your new tiger as you pointed to your shirt, but I don't know how funny that is as I'm likely going to do that at some point.
Anyway, all of that to say that the word for "butterfly", literally translated is "ghost with a shirt on". I don't know how well it would go over if I called it a "ghost with a tiger on".
Also, today we discovered that we could make a joke about how little thai we know by saying "I speak snake snake fish fish Thai" ("pud Thai dai nguu nguu plaa plaa ka"). I say it and the people laugh. They may be laughing because they have no idea what the heck I'm talking about, but I choose to believe that it's some sort of silly inside joke.
We are no longer in Chon Buri but have moved up to Bangkok where we will spend the night, leave the majority of our belongings and head up north. We will be in Chiang Rai by tomorrow afternoon to check out where we are going to be doing ministry in a year's time. We're going to spend about a week scouting out the area and connecting with people and then will part ways as a team from there. I'll keep you posted.

Making Home in Thailand
I'm here!!!! It has been a few days now, and I still can't believe that I am here and that this is going to be home!!! We arrived at the (brand new) Bangkok airport on Tuesday afternoon after 20 some odd hours of travel. We had absolutely no problems going through customs (praise God for his faithfulness) and gathered all of luggage in one piece. Nothing was lost, broken or misplaced!! So awesome!!
We were warmly greeted by the amazing people from Team 2000 with flowers in hand, smiles upon their lips and nothing but encouraging things to say!!! What a great scene to come upon for our first few moments in the country.
We exited the airport to be welcomed by that thick, hot, moist air that instantly clings your clothes to your body, makes your hair curl and your skin sheen, and then piled everything into a van. We also somehow managed to stuff ourselves into that same van (Reg and I were crammed in the back surrounded by luggage...at least we were insulated had we crashed) and they made a gracious stop at one of many Starbucks to cool our tempurature confused bodies and then proceeded to Chon Buri...where we are now.
Check your maps...it's on the eastern seaboard just north of Pattaya...this is the home of Team 2000, other members of our organization and they are hosting us and are doing their best to make our adjustment into life here smooth, comfortable and somewhat normal. I am so grateful for them as they have been through this same experience 6 years ago and remember these thoughts and emotions as if it were yesterday. They have scheduled some things for us, such as checking out the local aquarium (which I have to admit is so super cool!!! Seahorses are unreal! They are perfectly formed, just smaller, from the moment they are born!! I was blown away by God's creativity in the things he has made below the water's surface...some of which we shall never see), hearing their stories and the things that are going on in and around Thailand, joining in on their hip hop ministries (no joke, the guy who leads this thing has won breakdancing compatitions in Thailand. He's unreal), and eating at many of the different restaurants in the area. The rest of our time is pretty much free. I'm really thankful for that as this is quite a big adjustment...I'm no longer visiting this country...I live here.
So that is what has been going on for us recently. We shall be here in Chon Buri for at least the next week and then will be making a trip up to Northern Thailand to connect with the people we shall be working with. I will continue to keep you all posted.
Thank you for your prayers and thoughts and emails. I really appreciate them! Some prayer requests for this beginning phase of this journey...my jaw: I have a horrible case of TMJ and it has been more painful than I think it's ever been. I would love to be healed! Bitsy: she has been battling a cold and a very sore hip. Love to see her up and running at full strength again. And just for our team in general...we are all quite vulnerable right now and I can sense that Satan would love to get us down and discourage us before we even begin. Pray that God would protect us and help us to recognize lies and claim victory in not only our own lives but in the lives of the Thai people. And last but not least: for this country!!! Something you see a lot of at the moment are people wearing really large amulets around their necks...they believe that it brings luck and wards off illness and other such things. It would be amazing to see people in this country take hold of Jesus and trust him with their lives!!! It is already happening so continue to pray!
I have to admit, I haven't taken many photos as of yet...lame lame Jessica...but I shall soon and then I will post them. I love you all and miss you lots...please let me know how all of you are doing. Oh! I also have my phone up and running now so if anyone wants my cell number or my skype address just email me and I can hook you up!!Peace.

Blogger doesn't make sense in other countries!!!
So, I thought it would be nice for all those who read this (and I'm not sure if any of you do), to give you a wee update concerning our whereabouts. We have officially left North America! We said our final goodbyes last night (was that last night? I have no concept of time) and boarded the plane to Taipei, Taiwan. 13 hours of blissful sitting brought us that much closer to our destination, and has left us tired, hungry and smelling of travel. If any of you wonder what that may smell like, just imagine wrapping yourself in plastic for a few days, and there you have it!
It's pretty crazy to think of where this year taken us...we are actually going to Thailand!!! We are really moving there!! In about 4 hours we will be enveloped in a warm, humid hug and shall be filling our bellies with food that has been calling me for years. As difficult as it has been to say goodbye and to bring an end to the life I've known in Canada, I feel incredibly blessed to have seen God work all these details out and to have finally brought me to a place where I'm going where my heart has longed to be. He's truly amazing and it is now, in this place, as my emotions have begun to settle, where I can feel excited and marvel at God's hand in my life. What an adventure!!!
I will update again once I have arrived at "home". The tastes, sights, and sounds of Thailand will be filling my senses shortly....
