s try to pack 'light', but as you can see that didn't really happen. We wondered if they brought enough vehicles to handle all of our luggage. Fortunately, much of this will stay in Bangkok and perhaps the trip home will be 'lighter'.We arrived in Bangkok at 1 A.M. in the morning local time. By the time we got out of the airport and to our apartments it was 3 A.M. We got up and had a late breakfast.
Saturday night we took a taxi to the Watcherapon Church. We travel half way around the world to hear a farm boy from Kansas preach in Thai. Loren and Penny Hollingsworth are in Bangkok at this time. We were glad we had earphones and an English translator. Loren and Penny are doing great.
We have good living quarters and are very grateful to those who worked to make our stay here comfortable, and thankful to God for a safe trip.
Monday, January 19, we met our new readers, played a game and talked. We look forward to reading sessions beginning tomorrow.
Tonight we experienced Bangkok culture with
RAM University students! They asked our LST Team to accompany them to supper. We walked several blocks down a crowded, vendor filled street to a Night Market Outdoor Eatery where we had a choice of barbequed pork with rice or pork in soup with Morning Glory vegetable over a rice wonton-like noodle. Much to Gary’s delight, they had ice cold cola, AND a metal cup of ICE! We are enjoying the Christian Students that come to the RAM Center to “hang out.” God has blessed us with a wonderful group of people here, and we feel, that with prayer much good will come of the time spent here by our LST Team.

ReplyDeleteBangkok airport at 1 a.m. I remember the excitement and the weariness! You probably landed at the new airport tho. Our prayers are with you. We are watching the events of the inauguration. An exciting day.

I was relieved to hear you made it safe and sound, but even more relieved to hear they had ice cold pop for dad! My prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteLove to you all, LeAnn
Glad you made it safe and things are going well. We know God will bless your efforts there. You're in our prayers. Enjoyed the tidbit about going halfway around the world to hear a Kansas farmboy preach in Thai. :-)
