at breakfast this morning with my parents and with GP board member steve cheong (far right). eli will teach english in the local schools and also help with the weekend or evening ministries in chonburi center for about a year. but first he'll learn thai for a month in bangkok. i just picked him up at the airport last night and he delivered what i had requested-- the picture bible (david c. cook), plus other goodies other people requested.

left to right: sadie and dk, poom, annette, anabel, me, abe lim, abe; abe and annette will move back to california today(!), after ministering here for over 2 years; dk and sadie came to take them back. we will miss all of them.

lydia at her ram thai (traditional thai dance) performance last monday. can you find her? she's third on the left line. she'll perform again tonite, when the crown princess will attend; this is the only performance this school puts on each year. as the only non-thai, we feel lydia is learning a lot about the thai society and culture.

sarah and me looking distinguished, but not quite thai, during the concert. 

an outside view of the concert, in the traditional thai house where they practice and perform-- that means no air conditioning; timothy was sweating and getting restless so i took him home early. 

my parents for their bday dinner (both on april) in baang saen, chonburi province. more photos on my facebook.
