Beautiful flowers

I am always taking pictures of flowers I see and often don't ever get them posted. So today you are in for a lot of flowers.

Motorbike delivery

Our mailman delivers the mail on a motorbike.

We received this box the other day and he kindly agreed to let me take his picture.

This and That....

This is an unusual guest house we came across one day. I thought our grandkids would sure have fun staying in this treehouse.

The bridge connects to another treehouse so there would be plenty of room:) for everyone.

In the same area we actually saw these horses in a pasture.

Having some fun soaking our feet in the hot springs.



Teaching english to a kindegarten class at a rural school.



Branches hanging low

The branches on our mango trees are hanging very low with the weight of these mangos.

Most of this past month we have eaten mango for breakfast ...lunch....and dinner. Well, maybe not every day but we have had an abundance of them that is for sure.

They are delicious!

Look what was in our yard today....

We had a man come and mow and weed trim our yard today

and this is what he found

curled around one of my potted plants.

By the way the snake is dead here...

Our neighbor said the Thai's call them "tailburn snakes".

I sure hope I do not see anymore of these snakes in my yard.

They are small but their bite is nasty and would cause swelling and damage to the skin we were told.

Can you believe this was us at a snake show recently?

I was not very impressed with watching the snake handlers at all!!!

 We were sitting just three feet away from the area they have them in...not fun .

Travel to northeast

Our trip to the northeast of Thailand/Laos was very helpful and we had a special time meeting many of the listeners to our programs. It was interesting to see many of the radio stations that broadcast the TWR-Thailand programs. The following pictures are just a few of the many I took. It gives you a glimpse of our travels.

Those with so little...

Within Chiang Mai there are many people who live with very little.

Recently we visited a "slum area" and a church that our friend pastors.

He comes here and preaches each Sunday afternoon.

He said there are about 15 people that come to worship together here.

Pastor Subin also has a church in Doisaket that he pastors and several families from this slum area have been able to relocate to his village and begin to build homes there.

The only access into this "slum area" is along the path which runs near the canal.

A young family that lives next door to the church.

Larry and Pastor Subin in front of the church.

Does a church building have to meet certain standards for you?

Thank you Jesus for being with us wherever we are.

"But the hour is coming and is now here,

when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth,

for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.

God is spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

John 4:23,24
