Homeschool Program Possibility
When the short-term team came, we made a Thai meal for their first night at Frontier Ventures (FV). My boys helped make the green papaya salad (tam som). Josiah is squeezing the limes for the salad.

Twists and Turns
This was a fun night of a Thai barbecue that we planned as part of a weekend trip we organized to encourage some of the missionaries we know who are in need of fellowship. Thai barbecue combines Korean barbecue and Chinese hotpot to create the best of both worlds. The twist and turns of life…

She was released from quarantine March 13th, which was exactly one day shy of the date we landed in Thailand last year. The boys enjoyed that piece of trivia.

The highlight of February (besides the visas) was having the opportunity to see a friend of the boys from Chna get baptized here in CM. As we walked closely with his mom in Chna, it was a blessing to be there with them for this event. We are pleased to announce that, not only has…
