We're here!

Megan:

We've arrived safe and sound in Chiang Mai. In fact, we've already finished our first day here, which is hard to believe!

When we got to the airport some of the kids (boy Bee, girl Bee, Thim, Sai, Nut, and Miki) came to meet us, along with Tutu, Suradet, and Yupa of course. They brought us a gorgeous bouquet of flowers each, and if that wasn't enough, gave us flower garlands to wear and single stem roses! The garlands are hanging in my room as I write, and let me tell you, they smell good!

Then we were driven to Mike and Debbie's house, where we'll be staying until Thursday morning when we pick Mike up from the airport. After hanging with the kids for a little, Ruth Anne and I were given time to rest up. Ruth Anne opted for a shower, I opted for a nap.

Tutu's son Zachary and his wife (and little 2 month old daughter Michelle) then took us to Carrefour for dinner and to buy some essential items like breakfast foods, water, etc. I had mcdonalds for dinner, and interestingly enough, their burgers taste better here! Who knew?

Now it's time to go to bed. We're both wiped after a very long day, but in very good spirits. :) thanks to everyone for their prayers! More to blog tomorrow!

  3. My heart wants to say to you, in a fitting kind of way, "Welcome Home", even though you are oceans away.

    Love
