JEANNE GIBBS IN THAILAND

We had the blessing of having my mom, Jeanne, come and visit for a week. LeaAnn our great family friend came as well...they were both troopers and went non-stop the whole week. I have posted some pictures that will help you see how we spent our week!!!



LeaAnn, Mae Saa, and Mom in the village!


A white-water rafting trip....not going to lie it was intense!


Mom and LeaAnn riding their elephant by the river!


Rob and I about to begin our bumpy and exciting elephant ride!



Crossing the wooden bridge to get to the next zipline station...we are way far up!!!

Below are some video clips of us in the jungle ziplining!!!

A BASKETBALL CHAMP

Well it is no suprise that everyone wants Rob to play on their basketball team! I mean he is 6'4'' and can play!! In the past month he has played in two tournaments with two different teams. Below are some pics of one of the championship games.

**oh and after the game you would think he is a rock star...I would say after this game he had 20-25 pictures taken with fans...it is hilarious!!!

CAVING

Rob and I stumbled upon a cave when we were visiting a friend's family. We spent an hour or so exploring....we found that some spots were not as spacious as we would have hoped. Between the small spots, the bats, and the water we felt like we were adventurers!

SLIDER

A Visit to the Slider!!! A bunch of our Thai friends wanted to take a day trip to a city about 2 hours away. They said there was something called "slider" they really wanted to do. So we made a fun trip out of it...we ate at a famous noudle shop with the largest meatball ever, went to a ceramic factory, and experienced the slider!! Here is the infamous slider and pictures of our fun time!!

SNAKE FARM

A VISIT TO THE SNAKE FARM!!!

So we decided to go do a little sight-seeing while Jeff was here with us....here is a look into our time at the snake farm. It may have been one of the scariest times of my life!!!



Do you see the snacks in the tree?!!!



We were the lucky volunteers!


We were so scared!



The boys contemplating going to the snake show!




Wow that is gross!

A miracle from God!

God has been gracious enough for us to see him work in people's lives. Today we saw a miracle in one woman's life as she made a commitment that changed her life forever. We have been telling the stories of God now in her village for 2 months. She gave us the opportunity to share the stories because she opened her home for us to share. What a glorious sight to she her say i believe in God i believe in Jesus and I am his follower. I don't think the people back home really understand what this means for this lady to say this. In america people all the time make commitments to Jesus or go to the front of a church or raise their hand in a service, but here in this village it has never happened before today. The people here are bhuddists they worship bhudda and the spirits there father did that their grandfather did that and their great great great grandfather did that as well. They do not know about God and who he is, and when they do know normally it is too much to handle when you have been taught one thing all of your life. The stronghold here is high and vast the web of deception is strong yet God continues to pull people from darkness to light and this lady by a miracle of God was pulled from darkness to light. Without a bible without someone teaching her since she was little. Just by her hearing the stories of God. By the way we are only to Moses, and yet through the pictures that God placed even before Jesus came she understood why Jesus came and believed in him it is truly a miracle from God. Please pray for 2 other miracles to happen. A boy who cannot walk and a man whose arm is limp. Pray for their healing as a confirmation of the God that we tell these stories about is living and active and does heal and so the village may come and worship the one true God. God bless you.

Driving down the streets of Chiang Mai

Well we thought we would drive down one of the streets by our house so everyone could get an idea of our scenery. Try not to get dizzy but take a look at our life on the road!!!
