Thailand Journal 5– Aug. 25, 2018

Mariela arrived after midnight, enduring three days of travel! We all began the day with church. They gave us a warm welcome both at Vespers last evening, and at the Church Service today. It was joint worship for both Thai and English speaking congregations. After lunch we were on our way to the farm. Lots of changes. The new super speed Chinese train lines that is being build necessitated them taking out the road that our team build last year. As always Nang was
in tears when we met. She would not let go! They were so glad to
see us; and they were so happy to receive the dog food and chicken feed that Kalene Dittman and Lorraine Jacobs always donate. I spoke for the Branch Sabbath School, as always. We toured the farm, and then climbed the White Buddha. At 5:14pm, we were only a stone’s throw from the van when out of nowhere came a super heavy tropical rainstorm. Most of us got soaked. In our wetness we heading for our first meal at the blue restaurant. Only $17.00 to feed us all!! Such good food to end a great day.
