Thank You For Your Prayers
This morning, while I was working away on my Karen spelling lesson, Andrew happily announced that Jason was walking down the hill towards the house! He got out of the hospital yesterday, took the overnight bus to get home, and then walked from the bus stop to the house to surprise us. The final diagnosis was dengue fever, and severe staff infections. I am praising the Lord that he did not have sepsis like they thought! He is looking rather skinny, but other than that, he looks great.With the good food, and "clean" living conditions that we have here, he should be back to normal really fast.Hannah was THRILLED to see Jason again. In fact, for the first time ever, when she saw me come out of the bedroom with my computer, she did not ask to go with me. I even went to her and asked if she wanted to go to town, and she shook her head no, while hugging Jason tightly. (Andrew was very relieved since she is hard to keep track of here in the internet place)This morning, a pastor from Burma came to visit us. He is very nice, and had a lot of wisdom for us. He asked us what our plans are here, and was very enthusiastic about them. When we explained that we don't have a lot of money and so we are moving forward slowly, he waved it off and told us that God would provide. He told us that in Burma, the pastors are all very poor, they have no transportation and have to walk, but that they are much stronger in their walk with the Lord than the ones here in Thailand. He told us that adversity does have it's benefits! He invited us to go to Rangoon in a few weeks to visit, and I believe that Roy will take him up on that offer so that we can tell you all about what is happening there. His visit turned out to be a real encouragement to us.A strange thing happened yesterday. We were just finishing English class in the evening, and someone asked what the date was, we didn't know, so Kentegee went and looked at her phone. It said that it was June 29....our 24th anniversary! Opps, I guess we just forgot about it! Maybe next year we will remember? Things like dates and stuff can get away from you when you are busy in the mission field. (Happy Fathers Day Dad!....when was it anyway?) Anyone know of a good doctor who can do brain transplants? I would like a newer, better, and faster version!
