The boys have gone to work

Last July, the boys went to Baan Naam Kem to work with our friends, who are working with the victims of the Tsunami. They worked for three weeks and really loved it! Well, the Pruetts have invited them back. They wanted the boys to come up there before we left for furlough. So, this morning we put the boys on a bus. It'll take 7 hours for them to get there. As Clinton and I were walking off, I said, "Can you believe that our boys are old enough to put on a bus IN THAILAND?!? It seems so strange to have boys that are half grown! But, my heart is full of joy knowing that we can trust them and that they will have a wonderful time. They're going to help build a bridge across a river where our friends are building a Burmese school, for the Burmese children living in that area. The Burmese are refugees from the Khmer Rouge(sp?) or killing fields that happened in Cambodia years ago. So these children have no citizenship in either country. The Puretss have a burden to help these children get an education. The boys will be putting in 8 hour days for the next 10 days. They are both excited about the opportunity to work. Please pray for their safety and their health. i'll keep you posted
