The Mays’ Weblog

Happy new year everyone, or, as we say here, Sawatdee beemai.

We just got back in the wee small hours this morning from a one-day trip up North to the children’s home at HuayMaw in the mountains. Jenny and Adrian organised the trip to bless the children there with some Christmas things, paid for by ArunCC, to celebrate Jesus’ birthday.
We did some craft, making decorated stars and sewing doves.

You will notice from the photos that the burly lads are just as keen to involve themselves in this as anybody else! They always have such a great time with the crafts and often want to make another one afterwards with some modifications that they have thought of them selves and want to experiment with, usually with great success. The children there also seem to posess endless patience with quite fiddly tasks and really squeeze everything they can from the activity. It was well-worth the effort and I hope that you enjoy the photos.
Afterwards they ate and then our children did a drama to the song “Light your world” and Andrew told the story of the Three Trees, with Niti translating. Please pray that these children are able to have dreams about what God can do through them.

Afterwards we were able to give out some late Christmas gifts….

In brief, we have had a lovely Christmas, with the Wongs staying with us for 6 days, which was a real treat. We had a lot of fun (see photos here) and it was good to have some real quality time with them before their return to England for the next phase of their adventure.

We are back to school on Monday but have a wild evening ahead with all our children having at least one friend sleeping over, some in the tent in the garden.

With much love, A&E, JLMI
