The work continues


Friends, we had a wonderful time in America, visiting with many of you in your homes or 
churches.  When you pray, please thank God with us for His provision.  We have 2 new supporting churches and some new individual supporters, as well.  Thank you to everyone who gives to our ministry. We're so thankful that we were able to come back and continue the work here: a church plant, anti-human traffiking work, and missionary support through education.

House Church!  Our church now rotates between homes and we
get to host twice a month.  This picture was taken at my friend's house.  Women's Bible
study will be resume next week at our home.  Please pray for me as I teach these women
the foundations of the faith.

 Dragon Fruit!  I learned how to cut this little star/flower
design and then you can pull sections off to eat it.  
 We had a rough transition back to Thailand and felt it was
an attack of the enemy.  We were in the ER twice within 8 hours, but
all is well.  Look how happy everyone is!
 Mangosteen: This is one of my favorite fruits!  It's soft
and tastes a bit like honey.

 We enjoy family time outside in the yard (when it isn't raining).  Hudson
watches me pull weeds and attempts to pull grass....and eat it.
 Is it me, or does this truck have a mustache?
 Callie and I flagged down the icecream truck.  This ice cream is made 
from fresh coconut milk with added sticky rice!

 Look who learned to sit up!
 Snuggly brothers in the morning.
 Bathtime!  We don't have a bathtub, so 
this works.
 This is a fortune teller of sorts.  It was at the
grocery store.  You put your money in, the wheel lands
on a number and then you take the paper fortune that matches the number.
 I'm not sure how popular machines like this are, but
the Thai people are very supersticious.  They have favorite numbers and
unlucky numbers that brings about fear.
 And now he's a crawler!  It's all happening so fast!
 The gang!  Ken is off to work to support missionary families
homeschool their kiddos AND he's serving as Director of Curriculum this year for the school.  
The school serves over 500 kids, most of whom come from missionary families serving here and in Southeast Asia.

I can't post my pics of the antihuman trafficking work happening, but there are unspoken
prayers for a couple of the girls.  The enemy is always at work, so please pray with us!
