Thai Update: May 6th 2009 1200h

Hello all,
We have made it to Phuket Thailand! I'll tell you one thing, this is such a beautiful place. The people are so nice, the food is amazing, and the humidity makes it feel like you've just been running 5km's with your jeans on...

Everyone on the team is in good health, and we've received all our bags (except one, but it has been found and currently being delivered to our hotel, PTL). We are currently just sitting down for lunch (it is 12:55pm, aka 10:55pm Victoria time...) at the Phuket Christian Centre in downtown Phuket. This is where we will be doing most of our planning, preparation and team meetings.

We have been planning our stay thus far, and it looks very exciting, I'll keep you informed further as to what we are doing in a later posting. However, today (our first full day on the ground, we arrived yesterday) we will be splitting into teams and serving in three different ministries.

We are all excited about everything we are seeing and learning. However, it is hard to abide to team rule no. 1: no taking pictures in the first three days...an exercise in discipline and not wanting to look like the vulnerable tourists we are...hahahaa.

Much love, and God bless.
Ash
