This past week we literally flew to Thailand and back! Crazy I know but we were on a ministry trip and for the first time, Dave travelled with me to Thailand, the land of the smile!(Thai means 'smile' in their language). We left last Sunday and tonight we are back at home(not sure what time zone we are in, but we are back!)
One of the things that I remembered from my previous two trips was the elephants of all sizes everywhere!!! But this three-headed elephant was the biggest I have ever seen....it weighs more than 200 tons!!! You can see from the buildings around it how high it stood above the city skyline.
We passed the elephant on our way to have dinner with our old friends, Ken and Grace, who are now teaching English in Bangkok. We were soooo excited that we were going to get to visit with them! Here Grace is standing in what she calls her 'Barbie kitchen'! No stove, no running water(even though the sink has a tap), but showing us great hospitality just the same by having us over for dinner.
Ken and Grace live in a 2 room apartment which was a great reminder to us that life really isn't about things, but about being where God wants us and loving one another. Thanks so much for opening your home to us and giving us a dinner to remember! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
