Sawati krap-Sawati kah-Hello

Thailand trip will be in 52 days. The team of 20 will be gone for 14 days. We will be split up in 3 groups; orphanage, building/construction and administrative. I will teach english to the Thai orphans. The goal is to play and laugh with the 150 orphan children. I have gotten all but the last part of my Hep A and Hep B immunization shots. The typhoid shot smarted for a couple of days. Culture Shock workshop was last night. They say the women grab the buttox firmly and shake it if they really like you. It is a fond greeting. Our personal space will be challenged as well as our stomachs!!!! They can cook anything that crawls along the ground. As Americans we can not refuse any hospitality as it would be a grave offense. Touching the children upon their heads is an insult. Showing the bottom of your shoes is rude.
Sawati krap is Hello to a male and Sawati kah is Hello to a female....let's hope we do not mix these up! : )

A Precious Baby Boy

Benjamin Samuel Weaver born January 18, 2007 at 1:06 pm. He weighed in at 8lbs 1oz 20 inches long. He is a good eater and cries very healthyly. He is so precious to rock in the rocking chair in his little blue outfit that his Daddy got him. Pray for the Weavers.

Son out on his own!!

Luke moved out to Village Square Apartments on Montgomery and Argonne. This is his first apartment ever. He needs everything for his place. He has a fireplace in the corner of the room. A cute kitchen. Do you remember your first place?

Cold all Over

Hello
Spokane Valley is so cold. The high will be 19 degrees. I have myself hidden way back in my study. I have a oil heater that keeps me warm. Shopped at Yoke's after church. Yoke's has a nice supply of organic foods. Keep thinking of uplifting things. God has a wonderful plan...just rest.

Andrea

Andrea is doing real good. Pretty cold in Colorado Springs. She is such a wise woman. Continue to pray for a man to come in her world and sweep her off her feet. I treasure Andrea as my friend.

Baby Weaver on the way

Heh! I will be a Grandmother for the third time next Thursday. Lovely thought. Just to think I can meet this planned wonderful human being. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Yes.
