Well anyway. It’s been another wholly satisfying, wonderful missions trip with Wheels for the World. The heart of it bringing the good news of the gospel and performing Christ’s great edict “go and teach all nations”. The Thai people see that we care about them and care for them. And we get to tell them why we do this. And they do ask. And we tell them we do it because it pleases our God and because he 1st loved us. What a wonderful and powerful ministry Joni has started. There will be more to this blog later. Bye for now. Kyrie elison!

Friday leaving the hotel. One last picture all together. Meg Mueller in the center in the black shirt and Rachel Hetzel laughing on the far left are both staying in Thailand. Rachel lived in Chiang Mai for 2 years and will be catching up with friends for about 2 weeks. Meg came on last year’s WFTW Thailand trip with us. She was so moved that she inquired and arranged to stay after this trip and work for RICD. She quit her job as therapist and will work with RICD and the Pioneers in the jungles of northern Thailand caring for the hill tribes for about 3 months (I hope I got all that right).

My bathing beauty, Annie at the Gulf of Thailand. It was difficult leaving. It was beautiful and the people surrounding us were all so friendly.

This was one of 2 shops where we could change into our bathing suits and then shower (for a fee) afterward. The shower consisted of dipping a plastic bowl into drum of water and dowsing oneself. Crude but effective and refreshing.

Bathing hotties Sara, Rachel and Jasmine.

This is Rat Island with the double hump. It is being chased by Cat Island further out in the gulf.

Country leaders Judy and Gordon Soares in the Gulf of Thailand. We had about and hour and a half to play. It went by way too quickly.
