The Slums

Saturday morning we had the privilege to take some clothes to the Slums behind Payap University. While there we had the chance to play with some of the kids! We played Duck Duck Goose but standing up!

It was such a great experience, most of Chiang Mai that we have seen, the people are dressed very nice and live in nice homes. This was the first time we saw children who did not have underwear on but either just a shirt or shorts with no underwear underneath because they could not afford those. Their houses have no doors and flies are everywhere. The place was covered in mud and it was just so incredible to think that people live there and are thankful for that house.

It was such a humbling experience and definitely put perspective on things. We are all looking forward to going back so that we can share the love of Christ with those families, the kids really enjoyed playing with us and had so much pure joy in their hearts. Most of the kids do not speak Thai and definitely do not speak English but it was so great to learn that we do not need to speak words to have a great time together! God really worked through the language barrier and showed us that we can share love through games and laughter and it was such an amazing experience!
