Nahong!

Hello all,

We are now safely in Nahong. I've been thinking of a way to describe our trip up to the village but I haven't found a way without profanity so I'll just say "It was scary". We got a truck (praise God) but that is just what it is.. a truck. Usually we get a song taw which is a truck with a cab on the back with bench seats in the truck bed. This is just a normal truck so 3 of us had to sit on our luggage in the back of the truck all the way up the mountain. So that was fun.

But we got here safely. We're actually staying a mile outside the village in an amazing river side home with no chickens and a western toilet. It's pretty crazy!! It has been really good so far to see how much the people missed us and desire for us to be in the village. Tomorrow night we're going to be having a little party at one of the teachers houses after going to a wedding. So tomorrow is going to be a CRAZY day!

Thanks for all of your prayers. Please continue to pray that our ministry opens up and we are able to really move in the village this year! Personally please continue to pray for my back. I'm really trying to not let it get me down. If God is trying to teach me something through it I'm willing to learn. It's just a great discomfort and I don't like to move or sit. I'm pretty much comfortable when I lay down. But I know that it will get better soon. If not here then when I get back. It's a very strange problem and I can't find the source.

I love you guys and I'm really missing you!

God bless
