It's sad to say good-bye, but...

..as Christians we never truly say good-bye!

We left Bangkok in October, which was very sad--but on the plus side, it allowed us to have all sorts of parties in the last few weeks! There's always a silver lining... :)

Seriously though, we leave behind so many good friends and we WILL miss you guys!

Thank you to Christ Church first of all for taking in the two girls that randomly showed up last November with no organization and no contacts, looking for things to do! Thank you for warmly welcoming us to your church family and making us feel so much at home. Thank you for allowing us to serve with you and to learn from you and to meet so many wonderful brothers and sisters! Thank you for allowing us to share your kids (I miss my own nieces, nephews and cousins , so teaching and playing with your children was like adopting a whole church worth of honourary nieces and nephews!) and to share your lives.

Special thanks to the staff: all of you! Panjit, Manita, Opat, Pete and Ineke, Harry and Deanne, Ross and Sonia, Matt and Cathy--we love you guys for so many reasons: guitar lessons, Christmas dinner, coffee times, emails, prayer meetings...for everything! Thank you! It's been so wonderful to be part of the team...


Another special thanks to our small group! Food and fellowship--it doesn't get much better than that. We'll miss our Wednesday nights --it was always a fun and funky time. Keep in touch! Extra-special thanks to two very special people from our "original" small group who took two strange girls (emphasis on strange) into their apartment and into their lives! We will really miss you Gary and Claudia!

XOXO
