Snapshots from May.

A street-side fruit and veggie market close to our house.

It has been a great month of reintegrating back into life here in Udon Thani and new relationship opportunities! Pictured here is Paper, Muay, and their daughter, Berlin. We first met at a birthday party for a mutual friend, and then they recently started showing an interest in our church and attending periodically. They are extremely open to friendship, and open to Christianity, although there are some significant family barriers to them switching religion at this point. We are thankful for these new friends!

Exploring our little church friend's garden. These two are only a month apart in age and this family is a huge gift to us and our church body!

And Nova Gail turned two this month! She is such a delight and growing up just a little too fast.

And here is a picture from our Sauced & Tossed "team dinner" this month! We were able to hire a new girl this past month (not pictured here), named Ploy. Thankful to be able to grow our team and see where God leads in these relationships.

PRAISES & PRAYER REQUESTS:

- praise the Lord for Paper and Muay and their interest in Him. Pray that we and other believers they know would be faithful witnesses to the gospel of Christ and that the Spirit would continue to work in them.

- praise the Lord for our new employee, Ploy! Pray that her heart would be soft to the truth of Jesus as well and that we would be bold and loving witnesses of the gospel.

- pray for our girls: that they would see the beauty of the gospel and their need for a Savior at a young age and be life-long lovers of Jesus. Pray for a smooth labor and delivery of baby girl #2 (likely at the end of July)!

- pray for wisdom and direction from the Lord as we continue to explore what He would have for the future of Sauced & Tossed and our family.

"His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence." (II Peter 1:3)
