Monday the 16th, this is my entry

Today we went to the new site of the Mercy Mission's new orphanage and cleaned for most of the day to prepare it for use. The new house was beautiful but in a definite need of cleaning. Its in a walled yard that use to belong to the American Diamond cutting factory, a small factory is in the yard that will be used for other missions office space. We had a few breaks of for gecko catching and delicious Iced Coffee. We'll be going back tomorrow to finish up with some of the cleaning, maybe some painting and probably the movment of things from the old location to the new.

On Sunday we went to the Victory Church which is lead by pastors Fred and Dianne who are from Lethbridge and are amazing people. They've been running the church for six years now and are heavily involved with the Mercy mission orphange. We'll be performing our dance/multimedia presentation at church next week which is pretty cool because there are a few teachers and a school principle who attend.

I also found out that the presentation will almost certianly be performed on stages at some of the big malls in Pattaya. We met a teacher from another town here in Thailand that will likely be bringing our presentation in. It really seems like there are some good doors opening which is super exciting. Also, besides skateboarding and dance the Missions that are accosciated with Pastors Fred and Dianne sound like they alone could keep us busy for four months.

I posted a few pictures, if you click on the link to the left you can view them. I think they are all of the island vacation on Saturday. I'll hopefully have some orphanage and other pictures up at the end of the week.

Peace.
