Journey Notes

News, notes and anecdotes about our life with the Akha hilltribe

Thank you for taking the time to view Journey Notes - our online journal. In this Journal you can read about Paul and Lori's experiences living in Northern Thailand as we work with the Akha Hilltribe.

Please also take a look at our prayer and praise reports and our personal blogs from the links on top of this page for more updates from us in this adventure. You can also visit our homepage at to view our bios, photo galleries, newsletters and a little information about the Akha hilltribe (more to come the more we learn - we're still new at all this).

Now... on to the posts!

A day in the fields...

Thursday, December 18, 2008

A couple weeks ago we had the opportunity to accompany a friend of ours to his family's land for the day. It was an amazing experience! There is just something inexplicably wonderful about breathing in the fresh mountain air and eating lunch that was just picked!

Haven't We Already Been Through This??

Tuesday, December 9, 2008

So our truck is broken again. This time it's the gearbox - gears 1,2,3 & 5 are all a wreck. The great news is that it coincided with a loose wire that disconnected the starter, allowing our mechanic to catch it (and forcing us to stop and learn what was wrong). Best case scenario it will only cost us about $100, but the constant problems have us considering upgrading our vehicle again.

So this week we will be in town, working with Aje on the new Akha reading primer. This book will be presented to all of the akha leaders (in the world!!) at the Hani-Akha conference in China around the new year.

Please pray for us!
