Hey Family,

We are preparing to leave Wiang Papao and the pastors we have been working with here, Pastor Supote and Pastor Mam.

They are beautiful people who have such a great vision to help people in this area.

This morning the team did more construction work. Adam went very hard and worked all day brick laying and the rest of the team brick laid and tiled until lunch and then after lunch we went out to visit a new village.

At this village, this church will be building 30 homes with the help of Leannes mum and Rod, who are in the process of shifting to Thailand to work on this massive building project. So inspiring.

The team are safely tucked into bed right now, ready for an early morning start tomorrow. We will be going on a long boat ride tomorrow and riding elephants, for a day of rest after a big 10 days of lots of work.

After the elephant ride we will be staying as a team at the Akha safehouse in Mai Sai, up near the border of Burma.

We miss you all.

Some vegemite on toast, a cup of tea and our own beds are eagerly awaited.

With love

amanda and the team
