Did somebody say chimichanga?

Well, only one day left in Thailand!

Before I continue I would like to inform everyone that a brother in Christ was killed in a motorcycle accident on Wednesday night. He was the carpenter around the church. I will try to spell his name like it sounds, Joom. His funeral was today.

Moving on! Tonight we had our last party. Everything went well and I'm hopefull that my readers will continue to study the Bible. I had two or three words tonight (two or three words is the phrase the Thai people use to give a message in a short amount of time) and I did a message over John 3:16. It seemed appropriate.

I love you all and miss you dearly, I look forward to coming home!

Hmmm...

Okay, so I have had the worlds worst writers block this week....

But here it goes....

Reading is still going swimmingly. Last week we started our first two group reading sessions and I believe they went very well. Our first lesson we had around 40 people show up. We covered lesson one in the Luke workbook and then played hangman (using the seedthought as the phrase).

Today we went to the Grand Palace and looked around. I had been there before so it wasn't that great to me, but I think the rest of the group enjoyed it. We then went to Pantip Plaza (imagine Best Buy on steroids or Comp USA on speed). I bought an underwater camera case there, so next week when we go to the Phi Phi islands, I can take pictures while we scuba dive! I also bought a map program for our Pocket PC, so we can finally tell the cab drivers where we want to go without a translator!

Oh yeah, and we also bought a mosquito zapper, and we love it.

Please continue to pray for our readers and us. We love you all and miss you.
