Some random notes.

1. There was a video taken back at Highview where Heidi and I had taken a video camera and got people to say hi to Hot Springs. We've watched it every single day so far! They seem to particularly enjoy James running away from the camera, the youth throwing snow into the air, and Louanne jumping into Anne Campbell's video.

2. Wonders never cease. We had french fries, chicken fingers, eggs, and toast for breakfast today. I never thought I'd see the day! (And it was delicious!)

3. We now have 17 kids at the orphanage, but the husband and wife who also work at the orphanage have two young children, so there's a grand total of 19 running around (it's wonderful).

4. The girls at the orphanage are continuously in awe of how much our "men" (I use quotations since I'm including Sam and Jonathan in that haha) can eat at a single sitting. Heidi and I love it, because we just hand them our leftovers, and it looks like we both cleaned our plates!

5. While the temperature is quite hot in the afternoon (around 35C I believe, and that's not including humidity), the evenings become a perfect temperature of around 17C. With the fan on full blast and the windows all open, we can actually sleep with really light comforters on!

6. And lastly, you know you're not Thai when your hand can't fit in the Pringles container. :( Haha! The openings to their cans here are much smaller, most likely able to fit a Thai person's hand, but not our's. Makes every Pringle an adventure to get out!
