Finos Everywhere!!!!

Praise God! Two weeks ago, three students accepted Christ. One girl has been coming to our church for several months and the two boys are in another ministry that Arm works with, but I don't know many people, but God does and they are now His children!!!!

It has been a good week. This week I just had to proctor tests at the university, so it was nice to rest a little bit. I also got to meet up with a friend for some Mexican food. Arm had a little bit of a rest week too. Since he does campus ministry at our church, when the students have exams, they step back a little bit and allow the students to study.

We went to his hometown on Friday night and Saturday. We got to spend time with his parents, some aunts and uncles, and his grandma. His grandma is 90 years old and she loves to just sit and talk, but she doesn't speak Thai. She speaks a language that is close to Thai, so I can understand some of it, but not all of it. Plus, she speaks mumbled, so it's hard to make out words, but she is SO cute! We showed her some of our wedding video because she couldn't be there. She just wanted to see pictures of my family the whole time and would look so carefully at them. I'm so blessed to have warm in-laws who accept me even though I'm not from their culture.



Another interesting thing happened this weekend. We left a celebration of the opening of a new clinic and Arm wanted to take us to the dam in Nakhon Nayok because it's the 3rd largest in the world and he wanted to go fishing. The whole way up there, we saw people riding the motorcycles in the picture above, but had no idea why. We just thought maybe it was a major club or something, but the more we kept driving, we kept seeing more and more of these people, which made us more and more curious. As we kept driving, we saw they were trying to break a world record. Arm and I think there were at least 10,000 people there all seperated into regions of Thailand (North, South, Central, Northeast) and lined up about 3 or 4 rows for miles. It was quite a sight! I'm so sad that we didn't have our camera with us because it was quite a Kodak moment!

Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers. We are looking forward to seeing all of you one day. As soon as immigration things work out, we'll let you know. Please continue praying for the immigration process. May God bless you all.
