Sunday morning.

Not much time to write this morning. We had a busy day, touring the rest of the school in the morning, having a greater appreciation for what Brandon and Jessica do here and how they live. What we take for granted is special things for them. A shower that doesn’t consist of a bucket of water with a dipper and a semi warm shower available in our hotel.

We traveled, yes we got back in the vehicle, to Mae Sott to go to a ‘lumber yard’ to find some wood to build a swing set for the school. After stops at 3 lumber yards we gave up on finding lumber. We resorted to pictures of 2×4’s to ask for them. Even Brandon, who speaks Thai some had trouble communicating what lumber we were looking for. We did find one yard that has one bundle of crooked lumber, not suitable for what we were looking for.

We may design a steel frame and find a local shop to build it, but that will be another day to look into things.

We ended our day by going out for pizza in Mae Sott which was very good. The contrast in lifestyles over here is so interesting. We can go out for pizza, but many will sleep, like Jessica and Brandon, on a mat on a floor that you can see through the floor boards to the dirt below.

Today we are heading to church to experience worshiping the same God in a different language.

I’ll write more later. Our chariot awaits.
