Saturday Update

We made it to Chiang Mai with no problems...well one small hold up in customs, but we made it through with everything! There were several people at the airport with Stephen & Mary to pick us up & take us to the Christian Training Center. After unloading all of our luggage, we went straight to bed & all had a good night's sleep!

This morning (Friday night US time) we got up & ate a great breakfast before going to an Elephant Training Camp. Some of us rode the elephants through the jungle & then rode an ox-driven cart. The others who didn't ride went to a nearby village where they were having a dance ceremony for their gods & spirits, which they said was quite interesting.

When we got back to the Christian Training Center we ate lunch then sorted out all of the medications, medical supplies, & toys that we brought with us.

Tomorrow (Saturday night US time), we will be going to a church in the Red Light district in the morning & having church services here at the Christian Training Center in the evening.

We do have some very important prayer requests. First, please pray for Kristen & Ellen's safety as they fly to Chiang Mai today (Saturday US time). Also, there have been issues getting the rest of the money we wired over here. The bank shows that it has been wired, but the money is not showing up in the account when we try to get it out. This is the money that will be used to purchase the rest of the medication from the pharmacy. Please also pray that on Monday (Sunday night US time) we will be able to get the typhoid vaccine out of customs. We purchased the vaccine prior to coming here & had it shipped over, but the FDA is holding it in customs.

Thank you all for your prayers! We are definitely being blessed by them.

Serving Him,
The ACC Mission Team
