Last Saturday we hired a car in Kanchanaburi so that we could go and look for Karen villages. We got on our way, saw some really beautiful things and after about four hours of traveling dirt roads through the jungle we found what we had been looking for. A Karen village and a Karen church! Through broken Thai (many Karen can speak and understand Thai) mum and dad spoke to the pastor of the church telling him that we had jumpers and blankets to give to children in the village. The pastor was happy and was exited to hear that we would be coming to the church service the following day. As we were traveling home mum could hardly believe that God had taken us there.
The next day came and we began our two and a half hour journey. On the way we decided to stop and get an early lunch just in case the service was long. As we were driving across the road a black 4WD hit the back right corner of our car and gave me a little shower from the orange juice that Casey was holding and a whack on the head from Mackenzie’s flying arm. We were called to the police station to wait for the insurance people to show up. We kids got to go play on the play ground. Casey had an unfortunate event with a bee chasing her because of the orange juice that had spilt on her dress. While we were waiting the people that had crashed into us decided to take us to a lunch of soup with pork and duck in it. While eating we found out that it was the policeman’s wife who was driving when they crashed! After lunch we received a bag of chips and Pepsi from them and after every thing was sorted out we were on our way again.
Of course we were late but at least we were there for the last few songs. There we met a guy called Samson. We became good friends and enjoyed listening to his dreams and his stories.
It was a crazy weekend but I am glad that I can live a life of adventure as a twelve year old.

Hi guys,
I can't believe the adventures you guys have. I heard that you have gone from staying with a really cool and good looking couple in Cairns to being chased by a swarm of angry bees in Thailand. Sweet.
Cheers,
M&C.
