1. travelling.
we had a "business trip" which was just that. we went to a few places to work on new languages & get aquainted with the people we serve in the area. one leg of the trip went like this:
we got in an airplane.
we were driven to the hotel.
we had meetings, ate ,& slept in the hotel.
we were driven to the airport.
we flew back to thailand.
thankfully, the meeting was full of really neat people, & we got to hear what God is doing in their country... at least when they were speaking english.
2. riding elephants
we went with josh (he works in our office) and his girlfriend, kim (who came to visit), on a little trek similar to the one i went on with my cousin. It was fun to have Mike along this time :).
3. raising puppies
the puppies are getting cute & huge... actually we have our friends, curt & janna (who are staying with us) to thank for having socialized the little guys & feeding them so much that they are square. they will be ready for their new homes in just a couple weeks... 7 of the 9 have been claimed... one of them by an American flautist we met at a Celtic music concert on St. Patty's Day! The rest will most likely learn Thai like their mother.
4. running races & climbing rocks
boy, am i sore! our friends, curt & janna, are not only professional puppy-raisers, but also personal trainers in disguise... since their arrival, we've run a 5k to benefit burmese refugees & done quite a bit of climbing in the area... mike & curt are also doing some kind of navy seal workout in the backyard that makes me tired just watching. janna & i prefer to stay cool doing water aerobics at a neighborhood pool or doing yoga inside under the ceiling fans.
