To Phuket and Back Again...

Hey everyone!

I want to see more comments...if you don't have an account, it's easy to make one with google. I'd like to know if anyone is even seeing this or to tell me how you are doing or what you want to see on here :)

I hope all of you are getting the newsletter, it has a lot more info than I can give, but I'll try to update you with some more pictures! I didn't have as much time to upload pictures, so there's not as many good ones as I would have liked...but hopefully this will give you a taste of the adventure we're having.




Ko Phi Phi, we took a day trip from Phuket to here, snorkeled and walked around. It's from the movie "The Beach".















Ronald McDonald is culturally adaptable.





















Phuket market at Night.











Our view while taking an elephant ride in Phuket.











Beachside restaurant.













Me at Ko Phi Phi Don














The Viking Caves












The Beach.













A bamboo restaurant we stopped at.













Joel at the Tsunami Memorial beach.














That looks like a heart.












Rodney and me at one of the shipwrecked boats a mile inland.












The team at another shipwrecked boat even further inland.














The ice cream place we ate at an hour ago.









Here's one of the knock-downs we are building at the pier. We had to dig holes, level cement rings, mix and fill them with cement, and then build the foundation on top. Good times had by all. Oh yeah, it's hot in Thailand.












Simba!



Or just one of the many ugly puppies that swarm our worksite.















Gho Mein. He cut his foot really bad, and stayed with us one night and we all watched Shrek. For more info, check out the newsletter.







The team at the baby elephant show in Phukett.












Our trip is beginning to wind down. We have another week on the island, and we're hoping to show the Chronicles of Narnia to the kids, as well as help build the steps up the hill for the upcoming church. After that we head to Bangkok, and then to Korea.

Thanks for everything! Keep me updated.

God bless.

Ben
