God is good!

Well, thankfully we've been able to have a very restful day today and look after our sick team members. Chatchai came to visit this morning, and suggested that we call Janet, a lady we had met at church yesterday, who is a pharmacist. We called and she told me about some antibacterial medication that I could buy over the counter at a chemist, and about a nearby chemist that Chatchai could take us to.

So we were able to get a few days worth of medication (medicine is much cheaper over here!!), and Chatchai assured us it was fine to just rest up today. We had planned to take a trip to the King's Palace and a market, as a cultural experience, which he seemed very keen to take us on - but he assured us that he was more worried about our health.

Eden also came to visit, and she came with me and Matt to a nearby eatery where we had some really yummy crispy pork and crispy skin duck with vegetables and rice - about $2 all up, with a Pepsi included!! We're loving the food here - although it sounds as though Kel's going to be significantly less adventurous from now on, possibly sticking to stuff from the 7-11 across the road. :o)

  1. Hey guys,
    so good to hear about what you've been up to! I've been following your blog but have only just worked out how to post something. Thanks heaps for going to the effort of keeping us up to date- must be difficult after a full on day! But great for us- gives us a small taste of your time there. Praying for you all, and also thanking God for your willingness to be there and to be changed by Him. Hope you are getting lots of time for rest and reflection. love Karen
