Thailand Journal 9 – Aug. 29, 2018

We were all bless by Millen’s devotional this morning. At the school they worked with the bigger kids who had a better grasp of English. Another fun and rewarding day. On the farm we continue to work in the heat (though cooler than most years) under the shadow of the white Buddha. Nang gave us boiled corn and sweetsop (custard apple in Thailand). Spring Townsend, Kalene Dittman, Lorraine Jacobs, and Scott Holste, we could use your presence on the farm! It is a bumper crop of corn this year. And it is the coolest it has ever been! Rose and Jenny were so kind to give me an almost 2-hour complimentary massage. The lady who did the massage was a former Thai boxer! I got a great work-over. There were muscles in my body I didn’t know existed! Some of us explored town a bit more. Got some photos with our telephone and internet lady, as well as the supermarket owner. Great people. I’ve never been to the Wednesday Night Market at the Buddhist temple grounds. The rains 

held up and we went tonight. We all got some bargains. The team
members are doing well at dickering down the prices! I got mangoes – of course! We had dinner at the campus after-hours food stands. Remember you can view many more photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/143715478@N06/albums/72157700457595365
