June 24, 2008 -- Yesterday was our 36th Anniversary and we celebrated at a nearby Thai restaurant, with rice noodles, chicken and shrimp smothered in delicious peanut sauce! The sauce was very reminiscent of Cameroon, but is apparently common in Thailand, also. On our morning walk, Gary took a moment to smell a neighbor’s roses.
In a day or two, our sons Jody and Rob will leave their house remodel job in Los Gatos, CA and drive home. For two months they've worked hard and learned new skills.
We’ll spend the rest of the week together, then go to the airport, late Friday night. Email questions and encouragement to GPLent@gmail.com. I’m ready. And as you can see, Gary is finishing packing.
We are excited about this new short-term mission, among a team of 19 people from all across America. The new culture will be interesting, and our whole family loves the food! So it will be profitable to support a mission need, encourage those who are there, meet and engage Thai people and try NOT to say something incorrectly. We’ll smile and bow frequently.
“Sa Wat Dee” is similar to “Aloha,” in that it means Hello, Hi, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Goodbye. How can we go wrong!?
Anniversary and Roses
