What’s New

November 26, 2008

  

A lot of new things are happening in our life over here in Thailand.  The biggest new thing is that as of this Saturday Nov. 29th we will have a new member in our house hold.  I wont go into much detail now other than he is a seventeen year old orphan who Prang and I know pretty well.  He no longer has anywhere to go and it’s either our house or juvenilehall.  This is basically his last chance to show he can be responsible enough to be on his own as a man soon.  We spent some time with him tonight eating out and bowling together.  We all had fun and are looking forward to our new life together.  Hopefully this will be what he needs to get it into his head that he’s got to get his act together before he’s own his own is a year or so.  God knows where I was at his age and that wasn’t too long ago.   So I’ve got heaps of hope for him.
Secondly, thanks to a generous investor whom I have yet to meet and is a friend of Adam’s has committed a big chunck of money to help get our rice mill project up and running.  You can read more about this project by clicking on the link.  As of now we are working out the details about the electrical service and should be able to have the main machine up and running within the next month.  I’ll keep everyone posted as things progress.  We hope for this to be something the village can really benefit from.

On top of everything else I have ben busy with many other things including maintenance at Im Jai, fixing water pumps, managing the care of a new soccer field, planting vegetables,  paid electrical jobs, our lawn care business and even built a new dinning table for our house.  This week we will have Thanksgiving with some 25 people or more incuding the Heine’s, go to a friends wedding and pick up our new house member.  Life seems busy at the moment but we are happy and doing well.  Please keep Abigail in your prayers.  She came down with the same bronchial infection thing that she keeps getting.  We believe that it may be from allergies but we aren’t sure yet.  All we know is that it has accrued three times in the past two months and it’s really hard on her because she looses the ability to breath well.  Pray for her, we are doing what we can to make sure she stays healthy.  Also check out our new pages on the right hand side.  “House builds” and “Videos.”
