rice, kind of like oatmeal but with rice. We then went back to guest house, packed and headed to the clinic to get Boonreang's Government Medical ID Card.
When we got the the clinic it only took a few minutes to have the temporary card in hand. The permanent one will be mailed within the next two months.
We then headed to Daeng's brother's home outside Chiang Rai and he is the keeper of the family's book of record. He was busy building a new bed.
We visited a little and then headed to our friend's Peter and Nok as Nok had made sun dried pork for us. It is the best dried pork I have ever tasted. We spent most of the afternoon with them and headed back to Mae Sai.
When we got to our room in Mae Sai we showered and watched the news. We
then got dressed and headed to the final night of Pastor Lota's four day camp out at CHILDLIFE. Over a hundred kids from the local area, within 60 Km, had come to CHILDLIFE during the four day camp out to have fun and learn about the Bible's teachings.

Over a hundred kids from the local area, within 60 Km, had come to CHILDLIFE during the four day camp out to have fun and learn about the Bible's teachings.It was about 7:00 PM and dark already so we had to make the trip a lot slower than in the daytime. When we turned off the paved 
road we could hear the music and the kids singing over a kilometer away. When we arrived at Ban Nana, CHILDLIFE, It was great to see the young people singing and having fun.

Daeng and I were asked to help hand out the prises.
Daeng and I were asked to help hand out the prises. At the end Pastor Lota ask me if I would do a couple of minutes about "Smiles and Hugs". It is about how it is hard to be mean to someone you have hugged.
I was worried about how it would work with a English to Thai translator but the translator worked well and the kids took part by everyone hugging each other.
It was hard to get the kids to laugh at the part about me being so big, fat and old but finally got through to them that they didn't have to be afraid of me because I had eaten dinner already. Thank you Pat LeBorio for that great line!It is always wonderful to visit the kids of CHILDLIFE and Pastor Lota.
