I read online that there are snowfalls and -10 degree weather in parts of the east and northeast of America...but here, it's swimming season! =) That's right folks...no more cold weather for our bodies, it's HOT season...and I do believe it's fierce this year! We've enjoyed several trips to the swimming pool already and we even, for the first time ever, made it to Leo Land (a swim park on the top of a local mall. PJ and his friend, Ethan, had a GREAT time going down slides. Calvin enjoyed splashing about and so did Adele. It was great to go with friends...outings are always more fun with friends! (sorry I have no pics due to forgetting my camera each time!)
Tomorrow, we are going swimming again with the mom's group ladies and their children. Please pray for this time to be lots of fun and for God to use it to build those relationships even more.
And, since I am asking for prayer requests, I would ask for you to pray for my dear hubby as he heads up to northern Thailand to visit some Karen hilltribe churches. He will be sharing from God's Word on several occassions so please pray for strength for him. We are VERY excited about this opportunity he has to go and encourage the churches there (we wish we all could go but it's not meant to be...this time!). There is a lot to share in regards to this ministry but for now, I will just ask for prayer and maybe over the course of the next few weeks I can give you all more info regarding what God is doing among the Karen people. Paul leaves tomorrow (saturday) and returns wednesday.
There's been so much happening in this part of the world that it seems impossible to catch you all up...and I won't even try. Just know that God is at work...both in us and in our Thai friends. Pray for stamina and strength for our team as we undergo much transition in the next few weeks and months. We will be celebrating two years of Thai worship this Sunday!!! Can you believe it? Well, it's true. Please praise God with us for the ways He is growing His church here in Ram 2. You, who faithfully pray for us, play a major role in what we see God doing here...and we hope you all know how much we love you and appreciate every encouraging word and every prayer offered for us and the church here in Thailand.
Have a great weekend...you might hear from me again soon, but I can't promise you anything!!!

good to hear some of what is happening. We are tired of freezing and the hot weather sounds lovely..though I know it isn't neccesarily. Will be praying for Paul and this neat opportunity. Look forward to hearing more...if posssible. I know this must be a whirlwind time.
We are praying for you and I am also reminding others to pray as well; praying also for you and the children while Paul is gone.
love, MomH
I am so sorry that it has been such a long time since I read and responded to your blog. I got onto Facebook and gave up blogging. I am back to praying for you though and glad to catch up now and then via Helen. I do love you all and hope I get to see you while you are stateside.
