Coming Back to Phra Baht
It has been really good to finally arrive back in Phra Baht after four months in the States. We got in on Saturday evening and found our house in fine condition, with a very green yard due to all the rain during the past few months.

May not only our words, but our lives be a bright and shining testimony to the truth and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
