Hello! Hope all is well. I am doing good. These past two days have been a little slow. Some things fell through yesterday so I ended up taking a long (much needed) nap through the afternoon. Yesterday morning we did paint at the Lahu village though. We are painting a small building that I think they use as a cafeteria. We're painting the inside walls a light light blue & a Noah's ark mural (upon request) & Adam & Eve (also upon request) haha then the outside is a bright bright blue! It's a pretty color, I really like it. It will probably take a week or two to finish the murals & stuff. Especially because the kids keep breaking in before it dries & putting their dirty feet on the wall & drawing on it with sharpie. Literally. Ugh. They're cute though sooooooo. Ha They have some other paintings that were here before I got here & it's amazing how much better it makes their village look. Most of the painting are from HELP In other years. Project beautify is what we call it!:) Anyways so that's what we did before I slept the afternoon away. Then last night we taught first aid and had a BBQ at the Akha village. It pretty much was just us eating chicken & veggies with our fingers as it came off the grill. Haha it was so yummy. Russell (team lead) is a great cook turns out!

Ps. My friend Madison I told you about, please keep her in your prayers. Her dad has ALS & just passed away this morning. She is so strong. I know she will be okay. Thanks guys!!!

Practicing how to treat a cut.

BBQ. It's so dark cause we had one tiny little light that they had to bring over & hang.
