The Caynor's have had friends visiting all week so I have had a week "off" so to speak. I started off the week by going to the Egyptian Embassy for a fellow ABWE missionary in another country. She is planning her vacation and Bangkok has the nearest Emabassy where she can apply for an Egyptian tourist visa. I went down and picked up the application form and mailed to her. Sometime in April I am expecting her to send the filled out form back to me as well as her passport so I can take it to the Embassy so they can process her visa. I treated myself to lunch at subway and then found the latest English copy of TIME magazine. (I don't know why I bother to look for American news - everywhere I look all there is is the latest on the Presidential race)
One of the missionaries with City on a Hill that is still doing his Pre-field work just got engaged this past Thanksgiving. His fiance is already in Thailand working with a different agency. Her name is Deanna and she has been working with a ministry that ministers to the girls that are caught up in the sex trade. The ministry offers the girls a non-threatening place to come get help and to start to build a new life. The girls often start coming to the centers to learn free English. About 6 weeks ago our team was finally able to get in touch with Deanna. (she was in the states for a few months until Jan-Feb) She is such a wonderful girl. We have all been so blessed to get to know her. She and her fiance will be a great addition to our team! Anyway, last night. I was able to see a part of their ministry. I really liked what I saw and, Lord willing, I may become more involved with that ministry in the future.
Tonight, we are all going to a Fillipino wedding. I was invited, but I don't know either the bride or the groom. All the Thai pastors will be there, however, as well as many of our Fillipino friends. So it should be fun. Tomorrow is our Quarterly Team Meeting, and it will run all day. This coming Monday Lesa and I are flying up to Chiang Rai(See Map) for 3 days so I can cross the border and re-new my visa. I will write again when I get back from Chiang Rai.
Happy Leap Year!
