Our Family...We stayed a whole week with these amazing people!!!Well it has been a little over two months and, WOW or maybe even holy crap, is all we can really say. We never thought we make it this far, It may sound cliche, but we are just so amazed at all the the things that God has allowed us to do, how much He has worked in us and through us, and has done so much the words can not really describe. He has been faithful, and ever present, provided us wisdom and peace, and showed us how to deal with our circumstances and each other. This is funny, but we were hanging out with this married couple the other day, and they were recently married, and we began talking. It seems that a lot of the challenges that newlyweds come across(concerning each other)Josh and I have dealt with. Not saying that we are married or anything, but we have literally been 30 seconds away from each other at all times for the last +2 months. But God is faithful and amazing things are coming out of our friendship.
SO what have we done and where will we go!!!
We have been in Northern Thailand for almost two weeks now and got to spend some time with a Thai family. It was a great week as we dominated the local basketball court with our amazing American basketball skillzzzzz. We are so thug. Here is a video after a day of battle.
We taught English in a school and got to ask simple questions like..."What is your name," "How old are you," and"What do you think are the major implications of the global economic crisis". It was good times!
We then traveled to Chiang Mai, and met up with some friends of a friend and talked about one of my favorite topics for most of the afternoon...TEXAS. Being local Austinites, good times were had as we talked about Mozarts Coffee, Kirby Lane, and Freebirds...OH FREEBIRDS.
We then met a dude at our guesthouse who invited us to go to Chiang Rai for a worship conference for the youth of the area. We were already planning on going to Chiang Rai to work at an orphanage, so we jumped on the chance to party with some Thai youth!
Next is Laos, and we cant be more pumped. The prospect of a 2 day boat ride to our city is an awesome idea, one of which i can not wait to experience...More to come!!!

Thanks for the bike ride. But next time we need some evidence of your alleged basketball domination...
We still love reading the stories. Keep em coming. We love you and are praying for you.
We went to Desi Wok today and chowed on some curry!
Love,
Tim and Jill and all
When I saw a video of "street ballin" I got very excited. To say the least I was disappointed when I found out that it was not what I had expected. I was thinking of the old Juarez vernacular. ;) I wish I was there with you guys! It looks like you're having an amazing adventure, and seeing Thailand again makes my heart grow warm and soft. Josh, if you guys want to meet Roger Walker let me know and I'll hook you up. Blessings!
