Team from Virginia

Just a couple of days ago, we were joined by a team from Staples Mill Road Baptist Church in Richmond, VA. In addition, two people from Mississippi were also able to join the team. We are having a great time with this team. They are mostly older folks who are really giving it their all. They are also being very flexible, which is a must when staying in another country. For example, they have eaten all most all Thai food. In fact, just yesterday, there was a swarm of flies around us at a restaurant we were eating at. After a few minutes, the gnats were in our food, drinks, etc. This mostly senior group ate lots of food (w/ quite a few gnats i'm sure), and even asked for straws for their drinks (in order to avoid the gnats on top). They've been teaching English and sharing about Jesus with kids of all ages, particularly those about middle school age. Please pray for:

1) Brenda--she is a member of the team who has been very sick the last few days. She's already gone to the Doctor and gotten medication. Pray that she'll get better quickly.

2) Elephant trip--if you are in America, about the time you are going to sleep today, the team will be riding elephants. I think we are taking a path that the elephants will carry them through a river. Please pray that no one gets wet :)

3) English Camp--Thursday and Friday, the team will be teaching English and sharing about Jesus with over 70 kids at an English camp. Pray for God to work in the hearts of the young people and to give strength to the members of the team.
