Kim and Jeremy in Thailand

Friday was our class ministry day. Each class finds a project or two around Chiang Mai to do as a ministry. Since I am the 9th grade class sponsor, I get to come along. Our kids did a really good job planning; we were a bit concerned at first, because a lot of the planning took place in the two days before we left, but in the end, they had evertyhing figured out and brought all the supplies they needed. The group I went with was 16 Grace kids, and we took about 17 kids from an AIDS orphanage to a waterfall. We also played some games, sang some songs, and had an art project. The orphanage kids ranged in age from 5 to about 13. And everyone loved the waterfall! It was a really neat limestone waterfall about an hour out of Chiang Mai. It's spring-fed, and something in the water makes the rocks not slick at all. You can actually walk right up the waterfall! It looks scary in the pictures, but the kids were perfectly safe. It's almost like a sandstone or something; it doesn't hurt your feet, but you've got plenty of traction to walk around. Hopefully I'll be able to get pictures up soon-I've had some technical difficulties with the pictures lately. All in all, Friday was a good day. A bit tiring, but we were impressed with the kids.
