Its been something truly special for me, watching you and Nene care for and give this tremendous young child a taste of a quality. Sadly, there will only be 3 people with more tears than me, the day you say goodbye to her in her village. If i had a wish, id wish you and Nene decided to keep her there with you and raise her as your own... Love ya content. Your a good man... Rob

And I know it's much harder,,in person.Her happiness,,her smile and her giggle! I'm actually amazed that the training wheels haven't disappeared yet. Mina has good instincts in whatever she does,,including preventing wrecks on her bike. Boy ,,she was a trooper at the dentist. Proud of her. Regardless of the short term,,I know that she knows shes loved by Neenee and you,papa Todd,,and me lol.

    That was some mansion, the roof is called Tile Roof used to keep the rain out and it can be made from locally available materials such as terracotta or slate. Modern materials such as concrete, metal and plastic are also used and some clay tiles have a waterproof glaze. You must teach mina to use the back break only not the front break instead of her jumping off where she may hurt her legs even lose control of bike.

    Hi Guys Sadley it is not just a teeth issue ragrding the consumption of soda drinks. The other issue that no one here talks about (and in most of the rest of the world as well) is the rise in diabetease, which is also caused by the consumption of these soft drinks. We had a middle aged family member pass recently due to her inability to stop drinking sodas, dispite being told by the doctors It would kill her. You can only help those who will listen, or you can control what they consume.

    @thr3chunga462 Před 10 měsíci

    Hey Todd,
    Just wanted to chime in, which I usually do not do. You and Nene’s actions brought this out of me, thanks.
    I was 4-5 years old 45 years ago in Banh Nakham when a husband and wife, who had no children, accepted me as their son. They did not have much nor provided much but their actions of unconditional love I still remember till this day. This is in a nutshell as my family have immigrated to the United States.
    My adopted parents are no longer in the world but every so often, upon remembering them, I pray for them. The greatest gift I can give any soul after they have departed from this world is a prayer. They sowed a seed of unconditional love for me and I still remember them till this day.
    You and Nene have done this for Mina.
    What you and Nene did for Mina, she will forever remember it. When she goes through the ups and downs of life, this will be the moment she will reflect on to get herself back up and carry on instead of remaining down. It will shape her life in ways you will never understand. Just ask her in 30 to 40 years from now. This will be the highlight of her life.
    If you are not in the world in 30 or 40 years, the miracle of today’s action will be even more fantastic. On this day, you will stand next to the King of Heaven, Jesus, in heaven and looking down into the world.
    In this world, a special girl you had invested unconditional love, prays to God for you or used this moment to pick herself backup after the hardship of life.
    This will be the greatest gift you can give to God as He will proclaim - when I needed love, you loved Me. When I needed cloth, you clothed Me. “The things you do to the least of these, you do for Me” will ring so loud both of you will be so proud to be have been able to do that for Jesus without knowing it at the time.
    God’s blessings come to us in joy and sadness, in this life and in the next. The greatest joy will be the day we review our life in the presence of Jesus in heaven. Imagine watching a TV show about your life with Jesus in heaven one day and He replays your a documentary on your life. This is one of the many highlights that God will say, ‘well done good and faithful servant”.
    God bless you, Nene, Mina, and her family! They have been touched by an ambassador of unconditional love and his wife.
    Matt

I am 65 years old and don't like the visa runs every 3. month. How do you think Laos will be like if I move there? I have a girlfriend from Savannakhet and thinking about moving there to see if I can get settled and build a house there. Do you have any advise? I have been there on visa trips many times and like the "laid back" and friendly mentality of the people. Almost like it was in Pattaya 20-30 years ago) Now if you say hallo to anybody you don't know they reply with "(F.Y.) fuck ***.

    Developing nations have a habit of grabbing new things piecemeal: Plastic containers when there is no reliable way to dispose of them. Fizzy drinks when there isn't reliable access to dentists and when kids aren't brushing their teeth. Driving vehicles while ignoring road rules and seatbelts. People just need a little education on the ramifications of those choices. Nothing wrong with sweet drinks, so long as you brush your teeth.
