Sometimes I'm asked the question, "What do you do for fun?". And, like some people, sometimes its hard to answer, particularly if I'm in one of my working binges or experiencing unusual stress.

I'm in neither of those spaces now. THIS is fun!

It's fun to wake up and realize you're half way around the world where everything's so different but becoming more and more familiar.

It's fun to escape winter and spend the first hour of the day worship swimming, outdoors, with the pool to yourself and the flowers' scent laying over you and the water.

It's fun to go shopping for supplies in Carre Ferre and know how to do the transaction in Thai.

It's fun to tag along on a visit to a juvenile prison and meet a new pastor friend from the States. Our stories, as we told them, seemed like they were coming out of altering universes, they were SO similar!

And most of all, it's FUN, FUN, FUN to arrive at Hot Srings and finally be with the kids!! What an immense privilege it is to be the ambassador/Gramma who gets to deliver all the love one church can send.

The kids loved their packets as always. Thank you Sponsors for loving on these precious ones.

By now I have had all the fun I can handle and am seriosly struggling to keep awake long enough to finish this!!!

More fun tomorrow!!!
