Tuesday
Hey guys! what a day! this morning doug, geraldine, and i went with Rick to the local bible study where we had the opportunity to share a few songs, testimonies, and bible stories with them. they facilitate their own services, and it is really amazing to see them worship in their own way.
After that we did some work around the church before heading off to the zoo. The zoo, however, was not what you are probably thinking. It contained crocodiles, elephants, tigers, and pigs, which all performed taks that were very, very unnatural. For instance, the baby tigers were placed in the pin with sows to feed, supposedly this would make them more tame. Baby pigs were dressed in tiger "pajamas" and put into the cage with tigers to feed. Not sure the purpose of this, perhaps to make the pigs less tame?
Tonight after dinner, we passed literature out along the street. It was so sad to see those along the street at the bars, attempting to sell themselves. When we payed attention to them by asking their name, giving them braclets and necklaces, or just handing them a booklet, their eyes seemed to light up. They were so excited that someone besides an old man was paying attention to them. Please pray, in particular, for Mala--a young girl who had just moved to the area and was scared of what she may encounter there. We shared with her that friends were available at the local church who would love her with the love of Christ! She had tears in her eyes as she walked away.
Tomorrow holds more adventures; can't wait to see what God has for us! Pray!
Mom and Dad, love you guys! love you love you!

Sounds like a real interesting zoo you went to..I will pray for the lady on the street, that God will open her eyes to the love he has for her. I have been so proud this week, telling everyone, that "MY DAUGHTER" is on a mission trip to Thailand. Keep up the good work and we love you more than words can express!!
