Final Days at the Oasis

Today was the final day I will be able to go and spend time at the Oasis Coffee Shop with my friend Diana. Tomorrow we begin a conference for two days and then return to Bangkok for our final few days. The girls in the picture are Noi 1 and Noi 2. They have such servant hearts. Noi 2 does not have a mother so she loves to give and get hugs from people. These girls work from 8 AM to 8 PM six days a week. They work 2 extra hours on Wed and Sat nights for functions at the Oasis. I gave them each a plant with flowers as a going away thank you and they told Diana that Christians have big hearts. They are Buddhists but have ask Diana to pray for them at various times. The mural in the background is being painted by a Burmese artist who is working to make some extra money to support herself. The Oasis is truly that for many who come to Mae Sot and don't have any friends. Diana makes them all feel welcome and offers much information to those who need help. I will miss your smiling faces and friendship.
