Feels like Christmas in July

Sunday night was the Christmas program at the church we are attending here.  Winnie dressed up as an angel and sang "Away in a Manger" in English and German.  (Her teacher is German, everything is truly an international affair here.)  Evie performed a jazz dance with the 1st - 6th grade girls. I'm going to try to make another post right after this with a video clip if you'd like to watch.

Winnie and I went to a new friend's house to decorate christmas cookies yesterday too.  She had invited over two friends that she's reaching out to, one from Thailand and one from Australia.  It was really nice to hang out with some other moms!

Thursday night was exciting!  During an evening program at the Centre, Cory along with a few Thai staff were able to share their testimonies about accepting Jesus  and talk about God's love for us.  Two students decided to place their faith in Jesus and begin a relationship with the one 

 true God!  While Cory was at work, the girls and I met our neighbors.  They made a new friend, a little Thai girl named Pay-Ping (Or something that sounds like that).  She's 6 years old and lives just across the street.  It was so neat to see how much fun Evie and Winnie had playing with her even though they couldn't speak the same language!

Cory went up the mountain this week with some students from the Centre and the team that's here from Australia.  Here's some pictures of the temple and what the people here worship:

We've all still been healthy (except I was sick one night, but it only lasted 4 hours), so we are very thankful for that.  Thanks for checking into our lives!
