We skipped down to the beach to see Amy and Lexi for a couple days last week : ) It was a really nice break, they probably think we are narcoleptic beach bums because all we did was go to the beach and fall asleep on their couches, hammocks and pretty much anywhere we sat still for five minutes. We also got to go to their English meeting that is taking care of a little Russian group. Lexi had a talk with a Russian sister and she used the setting when preaching to someone whose language you don't speak. We got to hear the scriptures in Russian and Lexi did an amazing job!! Our highlight though was family worship with the girls. It was so refreshing and encouraging spending time with such zealous, down-to-earth sisters. And of course Bonbon got to drive a scooter around for 2 days! 
Right before we left for Pattaya we went to a lunch for Lita. She was celebrating 50 years in Thailand! She told us all about how she was fresh out of Pioneer school when they assigned her to Thailand. Talk about trial by fire! She is such an incredible sister and has been a great source encouragement for our teeny tiny Hindi group. As always she was thinking about others and brought us back goodies from Canada... mini pecan pies and... the piece de resistance... convention goodies. That's all I'll say ; )
We met at a fancy buffet that had- Northern Thai Peanut Curry and a variety of succulent bits of heaven and Mango Panna Cotta and apple tarts with strawberries. Oops! I swear I meant to get a picture before I devoured it : )
Here are some fun moments in BKK...
From left to right: Hindi class; Dinner with the girls before the went back to Japan to work; Pioneer meeting with our CO; Dinner at our house with couples from our congregation (they are holding bookmarks of their favorite scriptures); Our local motorcycle taxi driver ; )
Things are going to be crazy! So... you might not hear much from me the next two months. But please know we are well. Thanks for all your encouraging words. xx
