Sa wat de ka (hello)

My team bought me beautiful orchids for my 37th :) Then I was able to take a lovely swim before my two hour massage, Thai style, given by a warm "mom & pop" shop down the street from where the Malones live. I paid a whole $18 dollars for the deluxe package! I plan on fancying this shop again prior to departure!






This week has been full of highs and lows spiritually, emotionally and physically.

Teaching English has been a great means to reach the unreached. God has opened this door wide open. Our various ministries have consisted of: prayer walking, reaching those in prostitution via teaching English and bar ministry, and teaching in slums and poor governmental national schools. These ministries have been incredibly rewarding! Seeing first hand glimpses of HIS fruit transpire in this place, even in spite of ourselves, God continues to work in and through us. What an honor it is to serve on the front lines affirming Our Lord's Sovereignty in this forsaken place.

Unfortunately, I have been violently ill again, went to hospital where I was diagnosed with tonsillitis. Quite unbelievable really! Despite my feeble, finite self, God is faithful and continues to pursue me in these dark moments of physical exhaustion. I'm learning much about my walk in faith! (Hebrews 12:1-2)
