Slight Change in Plans...

Well, since there are protesters against the corrupt Thai government sitting on the freeway leading to (and all around) the airport, Bangkok International has been temporarily closed. As of this morning, we just postponed our flight one week.

So, if you haven't yet been able to see us, make sure to get in touch as we would love to see you before we leave!

We'd also like to thank everyone for being so encouraging with your prayers, support and help in funding this project. We promise to be the best stewards of your money and will update this blog more frequently!

Back in Cali!

But not for long! Yes, that's right! We are here for one more week then next Friday it's back to Thailand for us! We're having an early Christmas together to see everyone at Anders' parent's ranch on November 23rd at 7PM. We'll be having more of that delicious cheesecake, fun stories, many laughs, and an opportunity to buy unique, handmade Thai gifts (silk ties, wallets, purses, scarves, pashminas, robes, beaded jewelry, etc.) to help the children's home in Thailand. Above, check out samples of what we brought!

We'd really love to see you all or something sentimental like that... (Lori's exact wording, lol)

In all seriousness, we really would love to see you all! If you're unable to make it, we'll be back in July. If you need directions, call or email us at andersandlori@gmail.com or at our personal email if you wish... Hope to see you!

A Day in the Life of the Rescued Kids

Here are some great photos showing their day. We begin every morning with devotions of songs and a lesson. Since the kids speak different languages, the lesson is translated from English to Karen to Burmese. We all then sit down to eat breakfast. This morning we had rice with vegetable soup and egg. The kids have an hour Thai lesson then learn basic chores around the house. The Thai lesson is perfect for us… teaching the 3 and 4 year olds is right at our level! We are still far from learning the alphabet, but we're making baby steps:)





We are having the most amazing time here! It has been such an experience getting to know all of these children, and we are so excited to see what will unfold through our stay. That's right, we've decided to stay for _____? at least 7mos due to Kevin's wedding, but we'll see when we're guided!
