Fun!


It's no secret Calvin likes to eat and here he is proving it although it looks like there is more food on him than in him!










In other Calvin news, he started "wai-ing" on his own the other morning. This is how Thais greet each other (they bring their hands together like they're praying in front of their body) and it's especially important for children to always "wai" their elders so as you can imagine Calvin has been trained but for some reason it has taken him awhile to get it but it finally came!









And today kicked off our new Joy Kids semester at the office. PJ joined the other 30 kids for teaching from the Bible, games, snacks and lots of fun. I began teaching some parents of the kids that come some English. I had two students (three for about an hour but the one dad had to leave). Next week, I am told there will be more students for me as well! It was a lot of fun. Anyway, after Joy Kids I was asked to take some of the kids home that live in a poorer community near the office but there's really no public transport that can take them home...so I gladly offered. Here you see a number of these precious kids pictured with several of our Thai staff or interns from Bangkok Bible College and Seminary (BBCS) in the bed of our truck. Can you spot PJ with his blond hair? The cab was full of kids too. It was a blessing to serve them in this way. We also took a table and chairs over to Chai and Pawn's new home. They are so excited to have found a great house...and I was thrilled to get to see it!
Many of these kids are coming to our Sunday Thai worship services. Please continue praying for them.

i HOPE PJ was in his seatbelt?! But it is great that you can minister to the children this way (and the adults too). Imagine trying to do something like that is America!

Thank you for some more pics of the kids.

love, momH

His seatbelt was Phii Rin (the guy holding him) on the way to the community but on the way home he was in a car booster seat (borrowed from Emmy). Certainly, not something you would do in the STates!
