Happy Sabbath

 This is what our house looks like after church on Sunday.

 Do you think they sat for long enough today?  Hmmm.

Mike's 1st Trip to Thailand in 2011

In February of 2011, Mike took his very first trip to Bankok, Thailand.  This was the view from his hotel, which was the nicest hotel I've ever seen.

 Here are some images he took of downtown Bangkok.  He also took a river trip and saw some of the outskirts of Bangkok, which are not as nice or up to date as the city.

 Mike said that there were Buddhist temples everywhere.

 Most of Thailand is not like the city.  The people are very poor and have very poor living conditions.  Seeing these pictures makes me very grateful for all of the blessings I have been given.  My heart goes out to these people.

 Mike and Brandon took a ride on this boat through the Bangkok.

Their tour guides were a little family from the area.

It is amazing to see the kind of living conditions the native people have to deal with.

 Mike and Brandon stopped at a little zoo along their river trip.  They were able to hold some monkeys and see a snake charmer-- creepy! 

 Mike took a very long rickshaw ride to find this cool temple.

 Although he was working, he even had time to sneak in a game of Bball.

 Well, that's about it.  He went sightseeing and worked a bit, too.

2011 Foxboro 6th Ward Luau

 I am lame and am FINALLY posting the pictures I took at the Foxboro 6th Ward's Luau in 2011.

 It was quite the party!

 All of the little girls in the ward danced for us...

And some of the boys did, too.

 Brother and Sister Peters danced for us...

 And Bishop and Joy Macarilay,

 And Natalie and President Gordon.

 Some of the ladies danced.

 The bishopric dance for us, too.

Special dancers came. 

 And we all went outside to watch the fire dancer.

 What a fun night for the Foxboro 6th Ward!
