Sawadee ka!

Hello from Thailand! Computer time has been scarce and apparently iPod Touches don't like blogger. But I've got a few minutes of uninterrupted time as campers are snuggling into bed, so here we go! :)

Can I just say that my return to Thailand has pretty much been everything I hoped it'd be--and more!!! Since arriving on Wednesday, I've...

>Seen 10 of my 15 girls from last year, + lots of other returning kids!

>Enjoyed a DELICIOUS meal with all of my favorite Thai foods: khao soy, Thai tea, and mango sticky rice. Mmmmm...!!!

>Hiked through a tropical forest in a tropical rainstorm to splash around with a few kids in a tropical waterfall. All in my wonderful Rainbow sandals. Wow.

>Seen my first fireflies!!! And they were as magical as I hoped.

>Had some amazing conversations with campers, counselors, and fellow Hume staff members.

>Showered outside on a balcony that looks like it's part of the jungle, overlooking rice fields and lush green mountains.

>Worshipped alongside a small room full of 350+ campers that worship like few I've seen worship before.

>Watched an amazing sunset with my girls.

>Searched for Narnia behind a "secret" door under a house with some fun girls.

And that's just the beginning. Chris Simning's talks on the story of Jonah have been prompting some cool conversations about God saying GO. Kids are being challenged and having a blast. And God is at work. So amazing.

Pictures are a little hard for me, but Rich has this cool little camera on his iPhone (Apple is amazing, what can I say?) and has been updating the Hume blog multiple times a day, with LOADS of pictures! So click your way over to www.humeinternational.org and click on the THAILAND link if you want to catch just a glimpse of God at work.
