We received the kids' visas this week. It felt good to finally have them in hand. It has been an interesting experience, and I'll spare you the boring red-tape details for now. The nut shell is that we're going to need to leave the country every three months to renew our visas. It's really not a big deal. Basically, it's just a matter of driving to the border and checking in. The upside is that we'll probably get to act like tourist for a week: visit yet another country, stay in a hotel, visit some markets, ... touristy / family-vacationy stuff. It may also be an opportunity to do some networking with other church leaders.
We've purchased the tickets. We're scheduled to fly out Monday, April 27 from KCI. Kendra is excited that we have a 2 hour layover in Tokyo. We arrive in Chiang Mai, Thailand 7:25AM Wednesday (that's about 7PM Tuesday US time).
The school curriculum has been ordered, and it seems someone has covered the bill for us(Thank you for that $900 gift!). The outreach needed the same books my kids needed, so it is a win-win. My kids will be able to pass the books on to the next person or share as needed.
We were also given a new laptop computer. That was a huge blessing. Thank you to the group that made that happen.
Two weeks from tomorrow...!

Is the current "unpleasantness" in Thailand going to cause any hiccups regarding your arrival?
No, I don't see them closing the airports down again anytime soon. They did that to get gobal attention, and now they have it. Most of that mess is south and in the city. We are going north to the mountains.
