"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Time left in Chiang Mai is ticking away, and we are busy as usual learning from the Lord and making some incredible memories. Here are some favorites from the past several weeks:

P'Pui and I visited this lady, Jalearn, at the leprosy village about a month ago with the Aggies. We went back to McKean's this past Saturday to visit the residents again, and it was really neat to see and talk to her. She even remembered us!
This is Tan, a girl from the Chueng Doi who was baptized this past Sunday. All of the Christians gathered around this waterfall (which I now realize I didn't get in the picture) and rejoiced over our new sister! I've been so inspired with how joyful the baptisms are here in Thailand.
My favorite Thai food...garlic pork over rice. I seriously eat this just about every day. I'm not sure what that green stuff in the background is; I just wanted to show a little variety of Thai food. :)

At the Umbrella Factory, where these amazing painters can hand-paint just about anything you want! This guy painted several things for me.
Me in my all-Thai outfit...Thai coke shirt, traditional Thai pants, sandals from Walking Street, and purse from Night Bazaar.
At elephant camp! These elephants were amazing! They played soccer, painted pictures, ran relay races, and posed for pictures!
Me and a baby elephant...how cute! :)
My team at the Payap lock-in last week. Yes...that is me that they are wrapping up as a mummy.

The other girls were "Miss Thailand" and a beautiful bride...and I am covered in head to toe in toilet paper. 555!Being goofy!

What an amazing yet incredibly challenging summer this has been. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts!
