A Brief Update

Despite the 3 weeks it has taken for either of us to write, we are living and very much excited. Granted, the last few weeks have been anything but really exciting. They have been.... well, rather ordinary. Lots of teaching. Lots of planning. Lots of visiting. Lots of eating. The usual. We are coming up on a time when everything will change, however. Our lives and the lives of the students, faculty, and staff of Chiang Mai Adventist Academy will be thrown into a frenzy of excitement as (over the next 4 weeks) they are exposed to not one more, not two more, but three more mathises! Jackie (as I write this) is somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, probably wondering when that terribly long flight is going to end. Summer and I can't wait until she gets here. It will be nice to have some of "home" visit us here. Then, a couple weeks later, Mom and Dad Mathis will be here, leaving their indelible mark on Thailand. It's going to be a crazy month, but it will be so nice to see familiar faces once again. So, until then, thanks for listening, and thanks for your prayers.
