what a wonderful day
God has truly blessed us on our last day in patalla, making us never want to leave (almost). this morning tiffany, doug, and i went out with MolyWan to the beach. we walked along and handed out packets filled with books, VCDs and magazines. However, MolyWan would not let us stop there. She encouraged us to share the salvation braclets with people. These braclets contain a black, red, white, green, and gold bead which each represent a different part of the change that comes about because of Christ. We each got a chance to share. One girl that Tiffany shared with (MolyWan translating) was Pin. After Tiffany shared, Pin prayed to receive Christ.
The goal of our team on this trip was to saturate this area with the story of Christ, so that no one in Patalla could say that they had never heard of Jesus. We were sowers, and we did not expect to be reapers, but God allowed us to see the joy of the harvest. I am sure that this one soul is only a small portion of what is to come. I pray that the Thai workers will be able to see an abundant harvest. Maybe they will send us word of the miracles that they see.
This afternoon, Craig and I taught English to a group at a local interior design shop. The staff there is amazingly talented. I told one of the architects that i was going to call him when i got ready to build a house. The company, Leewadee, does everything from architecture to paint colors and fabrics. the designs are amazing! I love being there in the shop and sharing with these men. Craig and I do get a little stumped sometimes when they want to know the name of some items, like yesterday they wanted to know about slab roofs and other architectual terms. Today we covered window treatments like venetian blinds and vertical blinds. they may be calling something the completely wrong name because of our teaching ;-) They are actually fairly good english speakers, especially the owner, mr. dick, who is a believer and a member at the local church.
it was sad to leave them today, knowing that i may never see them again. maybe i can come back someday!
tonight we are going to fellowship with the church, i believe that they are cooking an authentic thai meal for us (kind of scary?).
Thank you so much for all of your prayers. Continue to pray for us as we travel tomorrow morning back to Bangkok and Sunday on the planes. The Georgia team will fly back to the states tomorrow morning, so remember them in your prayers as well.
Alex and Jon, thank for you emails!
Mom, DAD and Corey, love you so much! see you soon
