Here's a blitz of pictures from the past 6 weeks, with a quick update!
We successfully moved into a different house. Many unexpected circumstances along the way made it challenging: no water, bees building a nest, the shower tried to electrocute Ken, the refridgerator died, major flooding in our community and many more in-between things. Thankfully, we are functioning and well again!

| If you have to find one of these: the most dangerous centipede in Thailand, in your yard, at least you found it dead! Hoping to never see another one!   I took the kids to get groceries 10 minutes from home and an hour later many roads were closed due to flooding. After and hour and a half of taking side roads and turning around many times, the police officer let me turn through and we made it home! We were sad to see the damage, but were able to help a family with some of the damage. |
This weekend closes out the mourning period. It was insightful to hear from our
Thai friends, both believer and non-believers, about their affection for the King.
He was looked at like a father to the nation. Many tears were shed in Thailand.

| I joke that we live in perpetual Fall because things are always growing and dying, but we managed to find some pretty "autumn colors" on a ride through our mubaan. |

| The banana lady lives close to our house, so we visit her weekly. |
We are helping launch a Thai/English (bilingual) church service. Ken and I taught
a lesson to the kids on the Tower of Babel. The kids cut and drew a picture to use as a way to help tell the story. One day, there will no longer be a language barrier and every tribe, tongue, and nation will be gathered around the throne of God!

I can't share pictures of the kids I work with, but I can show you what
I taught them. This sweet girl is learning how to knit! They love craft time, especially stickers, and old magazines. We have a new child in the program who doesn't know the Lord...yet. Praise God that the other kids are walking with Christ and will share their hope!
