A few shots from Ayutthaya

This past Tuesday, I took our interns to see the old capital of Thailand, Ayutthaya.  I don't know all of the history, but  I do know that it was colonized twice by the Burmese.  Tuesdays are days off for most of our team, and this was a really pleasant excursion and a great way to get some Thai history and culture.  Here are a few shots from the trip:

Kiki's dream job

If this job comes open, Kiki might actually resign from MTW to follow her dreams.

English Worship

No, we didn't worship English, we just worshiped in English.  This was water for our souls...after 6 months of worshiping in Thai, it was nice to get together and sing hymns and hear the Word in our heart language.  We plan to do this once a month.

 We had a visitor, Nick Glass, on the banjo, Tim Mills on the pennywhistle and hand-drums, and I led on guitar.

 There were about 25 people at worship with us...interns, short-termers, and missionaries.

Rev. Andrew Bronson preached from Genesis 12 about the mission of God to bless the nations through the line of Abraham.

This was such a sweet and needed time for us...we hope to take turns preaching (between Rev. Dave Veldhorst, Rev. Andrew Bronson, Johnny McClean, Tim Mills, and Rev. Me...hehe...) we hope that we can have a monthly time of worship together in English to help feed our own souls as we minister in Bangkok.

Well, bite my shoe.

Last week we went on a little outing with some friends, and one of the friends had just bought new shoes before the trip.  As I looked back to say something to her, I saw her doing this. 

Apparently, there is a saying in Thai, "Bite your shoes before they have a chance to bite you."  And apparently, Thai people live by this maxim.
