Twelve weeks into the mission...


LAOS: On April 28 Cory, Robin, and I set out on our journey to Laos to renew our Visa’s. Our plan was to arrive on the 29th then apply for our Visa’s and pick them up the next day and be back in Bangkok by the first of May. As usual with life in Thailand, it did not work out as planned. We were scammed at the border and after getting our Laos Visa’s found out that the next day was a holiday so the Consulate was closed. Thankfully we were able to spend the weekend with some other SM’s in Vientiane (the capital city of Laos) and toured some of the main spots around Laos. We also had a chance to attend one of the only Adventist Churches in the Communist country of Laos. All in all it was a learning experience for all of us.


HAIRCUT: I had a choice to make: the hair on my head or the hair on my chin. I took the road less travelled...or trimmed.

NORTHERN THAILAND: For the next three weeks Robin, a Thai translator and I will be travelling around Northern Thailand filming stories and editing. We don’t have any idea what this trip will hold in store for us so keep us in your prayers.

    I'm awake at 430am in hawaii. i can't sleep and everyone is sleeping. funny how that works. i miss you a lot. just looking at all your pictures and stuff since i actually have internet. we're gunna miss you at the beach house in a few weeks. John is actually gunna meet us out there and the ondriceks too. It should be a really good time. Well life is crazy and weird. It's really strange to be here in HI. It's just the weirdest feeling and it brings back COUntless memories of last summer, the good, the bad and the ugly. i've been looking to buy a bike for a few bucks but can't seem to find one yet. well i have been here less than 24 hours. but still. i love ya and see you in a few months. keep having fun and trying to stay cool!!
