Ten weeks into the mission...

 

SONGKRAN: The Thai New Year did not disappoint any of us. The morning of the 13th we really didn’t know what to expect. We left our apartment on guard but we didn’t have to wait long. We immediately were attacked from every angle by the neighborhood kids armed with super soakers. After a morning of filming seminars at the Chinese Church in Bangkok we armed ourselves with our own water guns and took to the streets. Here’s a taste of what it was like...


DR. ROBERTS: This Sabbath we had our second taste of prison ministries at Khantonabori Prison, province about five hours out of Bangkok. I chose to pull teeth again and it was just as fun as before. I felt like a seasoned veteran.

YING’S VILLAGE: After spending Sabbath at the prison we were able to visit a Thai missionary named Ying. She let us spend the night and Sunday at her village. It was amazing to see how the people lived on such limited resources. It was a much needed and refreshing break from the city.

  3. Wow, What a crazy time during Songkran. Was that happening for more than one day? How often do you get the fresh mangos? So many varied experiances. You are one lucky guy. You will have to weave us some mats when you get home.

    Love, Dad

  4. One way of kind of ministering to the kids--by having water fights! lol That's AWESOME! Kids anywhere are usually so much fun. Keep up the blogging and I'll catch up later. God Bless, Bryon
