Today our bath tub was used as a baptismal tank! Yes! I love it. Our friend, MaeGaan has been ministering to her friend MaeYen and today she took the plunge. Who knew a party in the bathroom could be so much fun! I love baptism pics!
Later in the afternoon, me and the two ladies drove out to MaeYen's village to pray with her husband. He can not walk or see. He sits all day in the shade in a hut of sorts with a raised floor so he is not on the ground with the bugs. He knew a little English and sang a song for me. Ironically, it was "I just called to say I love you" by Stevie Wonder (who is also blind). I think about how long his days must seem as his wife takes a long songtaew ride into town to work as a housekeeper all day, but she does this since she is the sole provider.
As I was driving in the village, I saw Thai people everywhere just meandering around without much to do. There is no church in this village. MaeYen may just be the first and only Christian. It's places like these that we desire to see a church planted. It's people like MaeYen's husband that we desire to see healed as a testimony of God's love and power.
Today was one of those days when I feel overwhelmingly blessed to be living this life. I can't imagine being anywhere else. Thank you so much for everyone who supports us to not just live here but to work here.
Blessings, Jacq
