Day 7

3 more days to go and we're still going strong!
Hello everyone, thank you for all your encouraging tags and prayers. Today's update will be typed by Sara and Jingsen.

In the morning, we went for service at Inburi church! Reuben started off with his bible study about "Faith". Praise God that it went well and the thais received blessings. Auntie Veron was next to preach the sermon on 2 Tim 2:1-7. Lastly, Deborah was asked to share her testimony. On the spot, she was prompted to scrap her written testimony and share directly from her heart. God still gave her the right words to say to minister to the Thais. Thank you for keeping these people in prayers!

Two of the girls who attended the English Camp yesterday came back today. Their names are Rung and Kook. We would like to ask that you keep them in prayer, that they will come back for follow-ups. A few of us were in charge of the sunday school. The sunday school here in Thailand is really different, unlike in our church, where we have the whole of the second floor just for the children. Here, it was only a small room, maybe even smaller than our bedrooms back home. But the kids were very pleasant and happy as Jolene and Cheryl lead them in songs and games, followed by a bible story about the prodigal son lead by Ivyna, Josiah and Jingsen. Lastly, the craft lead by Zhiqi was very successful and the kids really enjoyed themselves. We had a very good time interacting with them as well.

So, we left Inburi church and went to Tachang church for the christmas service. It was very heartwarming to see the whole congregation, including those from Inburi church and Bangrachan church, present at the service. The service started off with some christmas carols (songs played by the TMT troopers! Woooo!), followed by the very well-prepared skit and dance items by the members of Tachang church. Everyone had fun and dinner was awesomezxzxzxz!

Finally, we ended off our day with carolling around the area. We had very nice home-made hats and candles to go along with it. It was a very nice experience for us as it's really been awhile since we went carolling. We started off with singing to the neighbour. It was really nice to see their happy faces as we sung. We went to a very ulu house where we had to walk along the river and stand on ant-infested grounds as we sang but we still had fun! We ended off the night with supper at the last stop. We were blessed with what Jingsen says, " The best porridge I've ever eaten in my life!" Sara agrees too. It was a good time of talking with the thais, but we also had to say goodbye to some of them :(

Some prayer pointers for tomorrow:
- Good weather!
- Breakthrough at the Children's Club in Pakathan.
- Tammie, as she is having a flu and bad sorethroat.
- Ben Chan, as his nose bled arising from dust and smoke from candles used in carolling.
- MOST IMPORTANTLY, for the mosquitoes to go away and stop biting our whole body.
- For Jolene, Jingsen, Daniel, Sara, for our feet to be healed of all the mosquito bites.

That's all for today! Goodnight and God bless.

Love,
Jingsen and Sara.
