It&#8217;s the opportunities that have opened up to see some of the places, the situations and the people surrounding these situations that have made this whole thing so immensely rewarding. I&#8217;d have never EVER expected ...

... tuna, he eats the can and all. We had the opportunity to pray for this young man. A few of us felt to pray John 10:10 over him. We prayed against the enemy who has come to steal, kill, and destroy this man and his family's lives, and we declared the Truth that Jesus came to give this man and his family life and life to the full.

... guests and eating as much of this great dinner as we could, but around 22:00 we had to leave if we were going to make it to the local Internet café before it closed. There was an Internet café just around the corner from Pam's Guest House that has modern computers and a reasonably fast connection for 30 baht an hour.

... necks and big ears", and i swear that is the truth. Its what everyone calls it. The Thai people go in for a lot of direct translations. For example as i type i am opposite "Buddys really nice and good pizza shop", and only next door from "Nice you drink coffee house". Its kind of endearing. Just like the Thai people.
