Quiet Time

The students are on holiday. The cape folks are unavailable due to overtime. The computer is finally working again.

We booked tickets for furlough. Went to "the cape" in Phuket with the Patong group for Christmas, and now spent hours trying to get the video camera to load onto the computer, what a mess that is!

The Lord watches over us. B food for Christmas dinner.

Happy Holidays!

How do you know the funeral is over?

Multiple choice:
a) they turn off the loud music, take down the tents.
b) they put away the gambling table.
c) they take away the fish drying racks.
d) seven days have passed.
e) they take the soap(body) to the watt (temple) for burning.
f) ALL OF THE ABOVE....

Hurry up and wait

The cape has been a little bit of a frustrating project. A group of B, professing to want to know more about the Bible and the gospel. But something keeps getting in the way. The truth is, we really need a translator. JanPhen's husband is our current go-between, but his only real skill is his own language. He know a little English, and a little Thai, but most of the time, his Thai is not too distinct, and she has to serve as a go-between through still another language. So perhaps the Lord thinks it is too much. We showed two different B language films, the first with a "greater love" theme, and the second a short documentary on Jesus Christ.

Last week we planned on delivering some Bibles and other written material, at their request, but last week and this week they called to say that they had to work overtime and that it wasn't convenient.

We have been praying that A., one of our "congregation" (and our translator in Phuket) would be able to go. He has been praying about it but it just has not become a priority. I guess the Lord knew that the group at the cape would end up not being available.

So we desire to be able to guide them, but the door is only open a little for now!
Please pray that it opens wide, in the Lord's time.
