Dear Friends
I trust that this email finds you all well and enjoying our Great God.
We are both well for the most part, though my chest pain seems to be coming back again. We are going down to Bangkok tonight for a scheduled checkup of my stomach ulcers tomorrow so while we are there we will see if we can get some of the chest pain medicine that seemed to work before. Please pray for our safety and our rest as we are traveling by overnight bus and they are not the easiest things in which to sleep.
I am enjoying both being back at work with the Kids and also a slightly reduced schedule as a way to aid my recovery. Currently I'm on 4 days per week but will go back to full time in the next week or two. 9 of our 11 kids have started attending school every day which makes the place seem empty for most of the day (until they get home--then you know they're definitely there!!).
Please continue to pray for strength for myself and Ryan as we continue to grieve the loss of my Uncle Rick. The loss is made so much worse by the distance from family and close friends and even though living in Thailand meant i rarely got to see him while he lived, it is still hard to know that I'll never see him again.
From Ryan
The DTS enters its final week of lectures next week and wow has time flown! It seems like just yesterday that we were welcoming the students! they have all had amazing Changes and growth in their lives over the past 4 and a half months but you can be sure there is plenty more to come with them going on the 5 week outreach in the start of June. I am not going on outreach but will be busy working at the base doing as yet unknown (by ANYONE) tasks. I also have spoken with our Thai language teacher about going to see her every day during that time and then after the DTS if finished too. I should be able to talk Thai much gooder than I can now by the next time I see you all. (Maybe even better than my English! :-P )
Thank you all once again for your support over the past month. Your prayers were definitely felt, and your gifts enabled us to cover medical bills and helped us get to the States and also will help to get us Health insurance. It has been amazing to know that we have all your love and care. God is the provider of all good things and we know he has provided us with you!
