Quick Update October 29, 2008

Just a quick note… Plans completely changed for me. On Sunday afternoon, Melissa called me and told me I would be going with Holly and Baw Baw to stay at a restaurant til Christmas break. Aw, a Thai lady who worked as a translator at the Adventist school, lives with her mother at the restaurant. Her mother is Buddhist, like everyone else in the town. Aw has been trying to witness to her mother, who seems to be turned off to Christianity. Aw wanted a couple of us to come to stay with her to do friendship evangelism–not preaching at her mother, but just living the Christian life. We will be helping her in the restaurant (in any customers ever come in) and teaching English to some kids near by. Holly will be leaving on Sunday for Cambodia to teach for a month, so soon I’ll be the only farang here. I think I’ll be massaging some people too, but I really don’t know many details. For this first week, we are just seeing how things fall into place. P Aw is really nice, and I’m glad she is here to help us. The plan is to be here til our Christmas break, which starts on December 15, but Melissa says we will just be playing it week by week. I don’t know if I mentioned it in previous blogs, but for Christmas I’ll be going to Cambodia and will actually be staying there for 3 months or so to teach at the Adventist school over there. More on that later… For now keep P Aw’s mother in your prayers, and pray that opportunities will come along for us to witness to these villagers.
