Gong

Gong

Locals make a prayer or wish and then rub in the inside of the gong hoping for it to ring. A "hummmm" indicates it will come true or that you are "heard".

We hope to swim here one day, it was closed on the Sunday we went.

Coconut Water

Susan enjoying water from a coconut taken from a tree behind the Volunteer House, and that's our kitchen!

Sunrise from our Bedroom.

Sunrise from our Bedroom.

Our bedroom windows overlooks a pond and the sunrise.

Cows in the Road

Cows in the Road

The cattle moving fields on our Saturday morning bike ride to NongKhai for Sister Mary's 96th birthday celebration. I particularly love their big floppy ears, but they are hard to see in this photo.

The Volunteer House

The Volunteer House

The large doors open to the communal area/living room. Our Bedroom is on the far left.

My commute

A photo from the front of the Volunteer House. The building on the left is the Care Center where I will work.

Friday

Friday

Fresh fruit smoothies, the best part of Friday! We bike to the "Tah Laht" (basically I farmers market), of course everything is made with sweetened condensed milk - healthy right?

Rainy season sunsets are the best!

The Truck

The Truck

One of the Good Shepherd trucks. I spend a lot of time in the back, riding in comfort in front in the air conditioning, but occasionally I now drive groups of people.
