Boston, our hearts are with you.<\/em><\/h3>\n

Jordan and I realized we haven’t shared any photos with you yet from our trip to Burma. \u00a0Mr. Autumn and I were there for three weeks in March. \u00a0Jordan and Mr. Spring were there for a week and then went to Thailand for a week. \u00a0We were in Burma to do some volunteer work in an orphanage. \u00a0It was our annual volunteer vacation like the ones we took in Laos<\/a> and Argentina<\/a> and 10 other countries in the past decade.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a quick recap, we worked in three orphanages and made improvements and bought supplies that they needed. \u00a0For instance, the children slept on concrete floors, so we built beds and\/or bought mats for them to sleep on. \u00a0We painted several dormitories, replaced a water pump, created a reading center, built a regulation volleyball court, paid to have one roof replaced and others painted, paid for a fence around one of the compounds, bought computers, and a guitar, provided clothes, games, and toys, etc. \u00a0The ages ranged from eight months to 18 years old, and they were so adorable.<\/h3>\n

Jordan is repairing a bed (upper left), I helped paint (upper right), outside of one dorm (bottom left) inside being painted in another dorm (bottom right). \u00a0They picked the paint colors.<\/h3>\n

We left plenty of time for touring.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

We loved the simplicity, purity, and realness of Burma and are thrilled that we had the opportunity to travel there.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
