Hi from Thailand!!

Well my first post from Thailand. And my what an adventure it has been so far!

I flew on the 21st August landing in Phuket early on the 22nd after flying on the Airbus! Hours after landing I was standing in Tescos! Stocking up on esstentials, and after that we watched a movie at Sussex house - the childrens home.

Since that first day I have packed so much in, work and socially. Its been busy but good!

A list of amazing things::
# I have been to Friendship Beach twice. (a resturant that does english food and pool)
# Nai Ham (?) Beach twice - awesome waves!
# Watched Joel kill a rat with a broom
# Night market
# Beach with Kids from Sussex House
# Phuket Stunt show
# Koren BBQ
# Natural Resturant
# Swevsons Icecream
# Royal Phuket Citys half price cake
# Kata Beach with my team
# 365 thai speaking students in a week - english, drama and footbal lessons
# Played Beach Volley Ball

and lots of other things!

After 2 weeks of Pais Foundational training we had vision week and painted Sussex House, we got stuck in to Pais. And straight into the schools which is amazing for a pioneering team!

We have started from stratch, with no equipment or money to buy resources for the schools we work in. The bulk of our ministry is in poor thai schools who have little resources themsleves. We dont even have enough money to cover petrol for the year, without the petrol we cant go into the schools! SO we are looking for people to support us in this. If you feel you may wish please let me know.

Getting to the Internet is hard, but I will try and keep you all posted as much as possible. I do have a cell phone and an address if you wish to contact me in this way please let me know and i will get my details to you!
