Sunday Worship in Mekong

We joined Ernest’s church worship together in the morning after breakfast.
He had to teach Sunday school and so we had to leave home earlier to attend too. Worship started at 10:30a.m.

Since English interpretation has been provided and we would therefore not be left out during the sermon time. Mem, one of the seminary students,gave the message.
on II Corin 5:1,5-6 and it’s also the first time I heard of messages by Thai intern, usually messages would be delivered by pastor leaders.Mem preached on how were we going to prepare for our death? Three reminders for us: Purpose for life, hope and living for Christ.

In the afternoon the team has been divided into two to go to different places to do English teaching.Three boys and a girl in one team and another two boys and a girl in another for the seven of them.

Thai English level is not that high and so it’s not that difficult for them to perform. It’s more a matter of learning in the process.

Jason was still not well after yesterday but he came with us to worship. Another thing concerning him is that he missed home and wanted to phone back, but without getting the much cheaper telephone card.

Tomorrow we shall go to Chiang Rai in a three hours ride to visit the Akha people and Ernest told the group they would help to do hard work. Then Tuesday would stay in Maesai to visit the Shan people.

Pray that we can continue to be smooth and enjoy the trip and learn what we are supposed to learn.

The weather is fine so far though of course it’s pretty hot in the afternoon.

I drink quite lots of water these few days.
