We arrived safely in Bangkok around 1:30am Sunday morning. By the time we got to our guest house and got everyone settled in to their room it was around 3:00am before we got to bed. It was a short nights sleep but a much needed rest after such long flights and the 12 hour time difference.
We began our day around 8:30 am with breakfast then heading to Pastor Noom's church, Sia-mia Baptist Church. They had a Thai service first at 10:30 then we at an authentic Thai lunch that the church prepared for us, then we held an English service at 2pm with Troy bringing the message. The people were so sweet and we enjoyed our time with them.
A couple of exciting things for us was first to meet one of the missionaries that works with Pastor Noom, Minda Gallarin, who is a Fillipino missionary from Boyd Lyons church. She was so excited to meet us and she was especially excited to see Coco. What a great picture of how missions really works to be able to see a missionary that was sent out of one of our missionaries churches.
Another exciting thing was to meet one of the girls at the church that was saved in an English Camp that a team from High Street held here in Thailand in 2004. Especially for Gary and Randy who were a part of that team, to be able to see that she is still attending church and serving the Lord.
Tomorrow we will be seeing the sights of Thailand and learning the culture. Our day will be a long one - riding the train to visit the oldest private Christian school in Thailand with over 5,000 students, touring a temple, taking a long tailed boat ride, eating in the tallest building in Thailand and ending our day with some street shopping.
We are looking forward to a good nights sleep! Thank you for praying for us, things have gone very smoothly so far.
The Thailand Team
