Pictured above is our family, Catherine (our friend who teaches at the international Christian school) and a medical missions team from the US. We went through a lot of training with one of the docs pictured above, Doreen (third one from the left in the white shirt) as we prepared to become long term missionaries with MTW.
So, last night our family and Catherine headed to downtown Bangkok to meet this group for supper. It was so great to meet new peoople and catch up with Doreen. They were in Cambodia for a week of medical missions and stopped in Bangkok on their way home. We got to meet Ted and Sharon Kuhn, who are over medical missions for MTW. We also got to meet Dr. SooHoo and Karen. They are from all over the US and the other half of their team had already departed for the US earlier that day. They were full of encouraging words for us and though we didn't get to hear how God had answered prayer for the Cambodia trip we did get to share with them how God is answering prayer here in Bangkok. (We asked about their trip and the only response was, "It was GREAT!" So, I think they were still processing!)
We also found some interesting connections...mainly with Paul and that little town of Waynesboro, PA. It seems all paths have crossed there at some point! Paul's dad used to work there and Ted told us the hospital is built on what used to be his grandfather's farm! Truly, the world is small.
Of course, we don't normally venture too far after 5PM on a Friday night...especially downtown Bangkok with two children in tow but last night was worth it and even the boys did fairly well. It helped that we got to ride the Sky Train (always a highlight for PJ!) and fruit and ice cream always helps to keep them occupied as well!

I also wanted to share that last week our market friend came back to worship and brought her 3 year old daughter with her! Please keep praying for them and pray for her husband too, that he would soon come and hear the Word of God. What an answer to prayer!!!!
