Sawadee Ka From Thailand!

Hello family and friends! Thailand team two arrived in Phuket on Friday morning after three full days of travel. We had Saturday off to rest and spent time at the gorgeous beach that happens to be a three minute walk from our house! We have been eating lots of delicious Thai food and are already building relationships with the locals and our wonderful host family. Stay tuned for more updates as we begin ministry this week! Thank you for your prayers!
