DAY 12.....................

Well, if you can believe it the boys have now been gone for 12 days!! They are having the time of their life. Chase still says he doesn't miss me.. : ( poor mommy! Colton is having lots of fun but misses home too. The boys have gone camping, built a fort, gone on a boat ride, gone to the waterfall, swam, cooked a "restaurant style" breakfast,which their Aunt Carrie said was very good, and the last few days put in 8 hours a day working on projects to help with the Tsunami Relief work. Chase wrote me an email yesterday that said, "Mom I worked all day today taking apart a boat just to rebuild it back again. There are boards that are connected to 20 beams, so in order to get the one board loose, I have to take out twenty nails and loosen it from the 20 beams it's connected to. But, I'm tired. Colton, worked for two days building a work shed were the workers will make bricks. Colton is working with a crew of Burmese men, so that makes for poor conversation. And for any of you that know Colton, he's dieing not being able to talk! Chase is working with Thai men therefore being able to practice his Thai. They both said that the Thai people up there speak much clearer than they do down here. Chase said he understands everything that the people are saying. The two week mark will be Tuesday, but neither of the boys are ready to come home. So, looks like we will go up on Friday and get the boys. We'll stay the weekend there and hang out with the Pruetts and return home on Monday. The hard part for the boys will be coming back home to home school and a schedule. So much is happening there, that having a hourly schedule is pretty hard to accomplish. However, our home is run like a "military camp" as the boys would say. lol We have 8 more weeks of school and then we head to the Philippines to the FIRE Asia Missions Conference. Will write more later.
