A BBQ!

Yep, we had our first university BBQ last night here at our home. We had 11 non-Christians here (all Thais and all the guys (6 of them) play basketball with Paul every night at the campus. Several of them brought their girlfriends...which was a lot of fun for me to get to know them. We had made (well, Paul and his friend Brandon who works with YWAM) a ton of shishcabobs (spelling?). They were really good and our Thai friend, Yu, made a very spicy sauce that everyone really liked. I made salsa and Paul bought fruit. It was simple but it was good!
This the group of guys that play basketball with Paul (I should say Paul plays basketball with them!) They are really a nice group of men. Please continue praying for them. The tall guy in the back is a Thai guy and also works with YWAM.









And here are a couple of the girlfriends. They enjoyed loving on PJ and Calvin and of course the boys welcomed the attention. PJ is really starting to come out of his shell. He has been quite shy but lately he's been very talkative and also speaking Thai more. Please pray that he would continue to practice and not get embarrassed easily.






This is Me with PJ. Paul went up north with this guy. PJ was saying, "Cheers" with Me. He was very excited to be drinking orange fanta (a special treat for him). The Thais love having fun and they especially love seeing children having fun and laughing. They are a very playful people and so PJ never has need for "fun" when we are with Thais!

We are hoping to have more BBQ's and things of that nature here at our home. I will say it was a bit harder for me last night because everyone who came were pretty much friends and I was the odd ball because I only knew Me and I hardly know him. But, I tried to engage some of the girls in conversation and get to know them a little. Please pray that they would be open to me and want to get to know me as well. Pray for God to show me ways that we are similar and that they would see that too and want to spend time with me. God is working...it's exciting. Not sure how long it will take until we see belief but God is working. Please pray that we would be patient with God's timetable.
