We have made it safely to the Orphanage we have been trying to figure out what to do here... suposudly the guy we were emailing didnt tell them about us till the day b4 we came it makes us feel awkward.. you know? We are working with it. They dint have any time to plan what we would do so we had to think of things to do... Today we ate outside on our so peaceful porch oh anyone who likes open spaces you would thinkk this place is so goreous, you could say we are in the country area.. wowie. I love it. But so far we ate and did our own dishes we had to ask to wash them cause we didnt want to offend the culture.. there is a white man who speaks thai fluently he lived here 10 years ago and was away for 10 and now he sold all his stuff in the states and is moving here for life. wow he is about 55 i would say, was a pastor too.. well steph and i were given these huge *key word huge cards of the abc alphabet with apples and stuff to represent the word and the sound of it... my grandma who is a school teacher came to mind.. so we are going to be teaching the teacher/staff/moms here lots of english. Thank God we figured our what to do. The director here is Korean.. all the kids here are from about 6 different tribes, not many thai here actually how amazing that God puts them all together and they harmonize.. The funny thing is that they had to all learn thai because they all spoke another language so they needed a main one.. Jesus is funny how he works. They always have a service at 7:00 at night with songs and devotions. Very much like our songs with actions and guitars. Havent played yet but we will be teaching them songs tonight and the rest of the week. We will also be doing a skit (devotional message) tonight and maybe another one, we are thinking of David and Goliath. Please pray for wisdom and great ideas for skits, ice-cream, events, games, songs... anything you could think. Oh and they have a KIDS DAY here lucky kids, just like any Mothers or Fathers day. So that is this Saturday, please pray that they feel so special and that we may bless them with great love, and wisdom.
Signing out - Adele and Steph

Ladies!!! Hey friends!! Wow, isn't it wonderful there? I just love northern thai people so much. So incredably considerate and generous. If there is a white girl in your orphanage named Carley from Abbotsford tell her I say hi. I'm not sure which orphanage she's in but somewhere in/around Chaing Mai. It snowed two nights ago and it is beautiful here. The sun is shinning and I'm cramping to go snowboarding. LOVE YOU AND PRAYING FOR YOU!
