Mae Hong Son

Well, it is 3 a.m. and we just got back from a two day trip into the mountains. It was incredible. We went to Mae Hong Son, an area right near the Myanmar border that was filled with many different hill tribe groups. 
On our way, we stopped and did an elephant ride which was super fun and we went rafting. Our hosts wanted to give us a few memorable events here in the mountains. It was like going into another time zone. (Not to mention there were over 1,000 curves and turns to get up into the mountains. 
We were able to see patients for two days, and it was a lot of work. It seemed to be a very oppressed area; most of the people were extremely extremely poor. It was a difficult are to be in for most of the team, but I truly feel like a light from God was able to be shown on Mae Hong Son over the past two days. I am posting a few pics of the patients we saw and the elephant ride, etc.
It has been extremely hard work so far. I was in awe and excited and overwhelmed with everything last time, but this time is harder. Prayer will continue to be needed!!!
I miss you all. thanks for bearing with me during this blog thing...I will get better... maybe......

  1. Megg..I remember my elephant and river rafting ride. I could have walked faster and was praying I did not fall in the water. Our guide..cook..raft driver was fishing the whole time. Crazy times. Glad you are having fun but it seems you are working tons. Praying you are safe and enjoy Jesus through the Thai people. Miss you lots!!
