Life

This is the carts of handmade brooms that are pulled in the traffic-y streets with all the cars, motorcycles, scooters, walkers, taxis, tuk-tuk's and buses. I caught this guy in the car on our way to the weekend markets w/the Well girls.





This next picture was just common. Yes, it's skinned frogs on ice. (the ice part was rare) Next to it on ice are hunks of cut up fish and then bags of, I don't know, some kind of sea creatures.
For mere pennies you can get this food.
All of the octopus, squid, ishy fish of all kinds, shrimp ect....that we pay big bucks for in the States, is dirt cheap there.
This last picture is Becky giving our Driver, Pi-Lo a Bible in Thai with notes written in it from each one of us and Becky had someone translate them into Thai for him. We had him every day all day from when we arrived until Sunday. He was off on Monday, so we gave it to him after he drove us to church. He would wait wherever we were, in the van w/all our backpacks, money, stuff, product and guard it....sometimes for hours at a time. With no air conditioning in that 90 something heat. He was ALWAYS smiling and though he spoke no English, tried so hard to help us out. One time, we were wandering down very insanely busy streets and he spotted us and pulled up so we could get in.

Our prayer was all that he would read that Bible we gave him and that God would draw him to himself. Becky said she is going to request him as a driver every time she goes, in hopes that more and more contact will open doors.
