We ate breakfast “from the street” on Tuesday morning. We had pork and beef on a stick, grilled sticky rice, “donuts,” and soy milk (I think that’s it). I’ve included some pictures from our street vendors where we purchased our breakfast. Alan and the men on the team went out for breakfast and spent time together this morning. While they did that, Kris, Emily and I spent a few hours helping a couple from the Ubon house church move to a new house. Moving in Thailand was quite an experience! Lots of taking on and off of shoes before entering houses, makes it rather interesting while carrying boxes. We were happy to bless this beautiful couple by helping them.
So, since the men had their time in the morning, the girls had a little outing in the afternoon. While we were out, Alan stayed back with Abby, Micah and Anna. We enjoyed a delicious Vietnamese lunch, followed by Thai massages!! I had my first ever Thai massage – for 2 hours! You wear these really comfy clothes during the massage. There were four of us in a room together. It is very different from a Swedish massage. It was quite an experience, especially with the banging, digging and construction going on right outside our window. It was so loud, we couldn’t even hear the relaxing music in the room. TOTALLY worth my $30!! J
In the evening, Amy, her kids, and Kris were having dinner with some friends. Alan, Emily and I were invited to the Goshorn’s to join them and the Winger’s for dinner. We had delicious kabobs and macaroni and cheese, with chocolate pudding and chocolate chips for dessert. It was an awesome evening of sharing together and encouraging one another.
As we were driving home after dinner, about 9:30 p.m., we saw two guys walking a baby elephant along the street!! Emily LOVES elephants (and that is putting it mildly)! Randy so graciously turned around to meet it so we could get out and feed it. This made Emily’s entire trip! It was AWESOME! We’re so thankful to Randy for stopping for us! What a memory!!
Emily and I have an early start (at least earlier than usual) tomorrow. We’re meeting Jon at 7:00 a.m. for breakfast before we go to the University where Emily is going to teach English to 50 Thai students!! Pray for her! J
