First Month



It's hard to believe we have been here over a month already. We have been busy.

This picture is of the boys at the sea turtle farm we went to before school started. You can kind of see the beach in behind the trees. I will have to get some more pictures from Sherri as she has quite a few.


The boys are now in school and loving it. They have made many new friends and there is a lot of sports for them to do.


I started going in to the Mercy Center. I have gone into the slums where we gave out food and prayed for some of the people. I have also gone into the prisons to give out food and water.


Each day I have to return from Pattaya early to pick up the boys from school which means I must take the bus instead of getting a ride. Right now I have to get a ride to the bus stop and wait for the bus, then when I get off the bus (takes about 50 mins) I have to take a motorcycle taxi to get home. I need to buy a scooter to make it easier, cheaper, and faster. I could get one for around $450 CAN but I also must look into one with a sidecar on it so I will be able to pick up the boys from school once we move. Right now our house is right across the street from the school but when we move it will be further away.

If anyone is able to give towards a scooter, I would really appreciate it. I do really need one to get around. Please to go http://www.getspiritproof.com/ and follow the instructions on the donations page. Also, if you can send me an email to let me know either in facebook or yahoo then I would be sure to receive anything sent. If you send it there you will receive a tax receipt but if you give directly to me you won't.

  1. Hi sharon,
    I'm glad things are going well. We'll be praying about that scooter. Would it be scary driving there? (eek..I hope nothing like Mexico!!) We're thinking of you, and hope that we can come and visit.

    Take care,
    Lyndsey
