Dinner out...

A couple of weeks ago, we got to spend a few nights outside of Bangkok, which was a very welcome change for us.  One of the highlights was spending time with Pastor Chatchai (the man in the blue shirt directly across from me).  He is planting a church in Ratchaburi province, basically starting from scratch...which is kind of what you do in Thailand when you plant a church.  Pray for him as he does the very tough work of evangelism and discipleship in a place with very little Christianity.

The meal was awesome, by the way.

We just jogged home in the rain after exercising a the local university.  Trey ran and I walked while studying flash cards of Thai words with irregular spelling.  I thought I might get a chance to be a good speller in another language, but my hopes have been completely dashed.  I am going to be worse in Thai.
Before the rain started, we picked up some of these purple fruit at the market on the way home.  They are (currently) my favorite.  Mangosteen in English--Mangkut in Thai.  If you ever get a chance to taste some fresh ones--take it! I have only ever seen canned mangosteen in the US.
PS.  Praise God for the rain.  We have had several weeks of highs in the 100's.
