Bible club

Here is a picture of our kids in Ban Pru Bible Club. We have anywhere from 16 to 7 children that attend each week. Many of them are genuinely hungry for the Lord. Two of the older ones have given their lives to Jesus.

Free family vacation!

Our family spent 5 wonderful days in Phuket for free! This ministry from America came to Thailand and paid for 150 missionaries to vacation for free. The ministry paid for three days and Clinton's mother paid for an extra two days!! The ministry is called Hospitality Network. They go to different countries every year and offer free vations for missionaries. Here are some of the pictures from our trip. We had a very relaxing time with the family. Bang

2007 Family pictures





Thanksgiving Day

This was the first time in the history of our family(17 years) that we spent Thanksgiving alone. At first I thought I was going to be really sad, but then I decided to be happy that at least I had my three sons and a wonderful husband to spend it with. I really wanted to make this as special as I could since we would be spending it alone...........sooooo I asked the boys what we could do to make it very memorable. They said, "Mom, let's have seafood!" With no quetions asked, Clinton and I went to the market and bought some fresh crabs, shrimp and a whole fish. We came home and Clinton prepared the crabs and fish and I cooked fettuccini alfredo with grilled shrimp. It was an awesome dinner and one the boys said that would always remember!! Here's the handsome men
This was Clinton's plate. He likes to get all the meat out of his crabs, something he learned from his mother, and eat it all at one time. His plate was a master piece!!
I also made some spiced pecans, thanks to Granny who provided us with pecans and the recipe and a pecan cheesecake pie. They were good!!!
Here are a couple of "after" the Thanksgiving meal pictures. I thought some of you might want to know what we did after we ate.............
This picture was supposed to be in with the actual meal pictures.......... oops
