Seeing my mom here in Thailand was probably the highlight of my year! It was such a blessing to show her my life here. I also got to show her and her friend Janie all around Chiang Rai, Chiang Saen, Mae Sai, Pattaya, Bangkok and Koh Chang. I got to show her where I have been living for the past year, where I work, what I do and who I spend my time with. It was really nice! We had a blast traveling with all of their luggage!! haa haa! They didn’t pack light that’s for sure! They brought gifts for all of the kids. The kids always love that! What kid doesn’t!?
When they arrived, Robin and Whim (I grew up with Robin in Coulee Dam, Wa, she now lives with her husband Whim in Bangkok) took us out to a fabulous place called Yellow Yellow really close to her school. It was delicious!!
Then we went to the bus station where we would take a 2 hour bus trip to Pattaya and stay the night. My friend Nuch met us there and took us to the hotel. I made her stay with us too! It was really great to see her. The next day we went to visit the Tamar Center so that Janie could meet the director of the ministry and see the hair salon there. (Janie is a hair dresser in Oregon). So she was very interested in seeing how the ministry worked there. That was really fun. I got to see some friends there as well. For those of you who did their DTS outreach with me and are reading this, I got to see Angel. She looks good and is doing really well. Then we headed back to Bangkok where we would then get on a plane to head to Chiang Rai.
