Learning Thai

Well, we hear that the cool season is (almost) upon us. The temperature today is in the 90s and the sun is blazing down. It hasn't rained for weeks. The local stores are well stocked with fuzzy sweaters, warm hats for babies and coats. We're expecting the snow any day now! We've heard it might get as low as 65 degrees and that Thais will be bundling up. With the rainy season past, we are noticing that our plants must be watered daily or they will shrivel and drop branches (and we wouldn't want our landlady to see that!). Even Claire and Eliza like to help.

We're enjoying this hot Saturday from mostly indoors (although the girls did "swim" in their tub on the patio and we had a picnic lunch- spicy papaya salad, chicken and sticky rice, out there). We are doing lots of laundry and mopping floors. Tomorrow our team will all be here for church and we will be going to our landlord's home for lunch.
Thanks for all your prayers. We continue to plug away at our Thai studies- learning how to ask more questions and talk in very simple sentences and different tenses.
Thai words of the day: living room= hong nang len (sit and play room). Foreigner=farang (we hear that one a lot).
"..You are no longer foreigners (farang) and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household." Ephesians 2:19
