SongTeew

God is always bringing us into situations that are fun and new adventures. Today as we were coming home from the market, he again put a smile on our faces. First of all let us explain something. Here in Thailand there seems to be an unwritten code that,"Even if you don't think there is room, there is always room." Second of all, for those who don't know what a songteew is, it is a pick up truck where the back has been transformed into a taxi, with two benches on either side of the truck. It has a cover over it. Anyways, all that to say that on our ride home we were accompanied by 31 other people. Yep, 33 of us all together. We have to say, we are constantly being amazed by these people. We have a lot to learn from them, but not just about the skill of making room when there seems to be none.

  • Three surprises greeted me upon arriving at church today. One, your Mom and Dad were there! Two, we got a peek at your new niece. Congratulations! And, I was handed a little gift from you both sent across the miles. Thank-you! How lovely of you to think of us.
    We are blessed to be able to partner with you in this awesome adventure. You were covered with prayers today as Pastor Chris and the congregation united in raising you and your family up before the Lord. May you KNOW His presence with you today.
    Blessings!

  • I "dido" Jan. It was great to see your mom and dad, bro, sis, niece in church. We were thinking of you too! I esp. liked seeing your dad hold his little grand-daughter. That was really cool!
