Wednesday Night is Party Night at Our House

Kennedy came back from church this morning (I stayed home, still recovering) to tell me everyone will be coming over to our house on Wednesday to have dinner. Amnaat will bring fish, we will cook rice in our rice-pot, and I think Matt & Lisa will bring something, too. So it will be both caucasians and the local Thai neighbors that come to church. That's great! I came up with this idea weeks ago but wasn't sure if anyone felt too enthusiastic about it. We have been gone for 3 weeks, out of the region, so I guess the idea caught on somewhere in there. I wanted to start a weekly dinner for Thais here in the Baang Sak neighborhood interested in coming as well as those of us who work here in the ministry. It looks like there will be many more whites than Thais at first, but we are planning on visiting folks in their homes every week now, so we'll invite them to come, too. There is nothing like sharing a meal to develop a friendship, and it is important here in Thailand.
For now we will pray for each other. Eventually it may turn into a Bible study, but we'll see, we might take another night for that during the week.
I will probably make spaghetti, buy a whole chicken or two, and make some cookies. This first time we'll have maybe 6 white adults and 4 Thais, not including children. Including children there may be around 15 of us.
