Thailand Journal 8 – Aug. 30, 2019

Jasmine began our day with a blessed devotional. Again if was a fun day for the teachers at the school. I asked them what stood out. A favorite was Jasmine touching moment with one of the boys who lost his dog last night. Our team members are doing much more than teaching English! On the farm it rained most of the morning. That did not deter the team. They donned their ponchos and worked with rain coming down and sweat pouring out! This team worked so fast that we ran out of fertilizer. While I went into town to

purchase more, the neighbors fed them a lovely dish of tapioca pudding, coconut milk, and corn. Again they surprised me: We finished the entire plot. This is one of the best farm team in our 12 years working this farm! Kudos guys! In the afternoon the van got a good wash inside and out – spanking new for $15.00. Some of the team walked around the town and found a lovely new beverage place. Another great dinner at the Blue restaurant. Then everyone came to my room to have mango sticky rice prepared especially for us by Dr. Wayne’s wife, Sarapee Hamara. It was heavenly! We ended the day at Vespers – a musical program by a visiting choir from Malaysia.
