Nok and Pai joined Vee and me today at Ja Rurat, and that helped a lot. I continued my 'series' on the story of Joseph and the older kids seem to really follow it well. We'll finish that up next week and do one week with the Christmas story before the Ja Rurat Christmas party on December 14th.

One thing I was very pleased with today was that Vee told me that one little girl's mom had told him she loved for me to teach the Bible stories each week. She wants her daughter to learn English and loves that I speak English and Nok or Vee then translates, AND that she is starting to become interested in the gospel. That is a big part of the goal of this ministry, to reach the parents through their children. Vee also said that a couple of the older children asked him about coming to church next weekend. Wow.

Pai loves coming to JaRurat and seeing faith in action. I enjoy so much having him with us.


Vee's son Kimmy (left) and Tony's son Nathan used to want nothing to do with the big farang. Now, I can't peel them off of me. I get mugged every five minutes every Sunday, it seems.
