Flooding in Lopburi

We returned in from Lampang (where we were looking for a house to rent) just in time. It starting raining heavily an hour or two later and when I looked out the window our car port was starting to flood. This is where our car was stationed before I moved it. Forunately, the water stopped rising enough so that it didn't come into the house. Our neighbours were not as fortunately and were mopping up the water from their living room. If we arrived several hours later, I'm not sure whether we would have been able to get to our house with the flooding.

Songkran Fun

This year I had the opportunity to experience Songkran (the Thai New Year Water Festival) Thai style on a back of pickup loaded with water fighting equipment. Going around the block took us nearly 2 hours. The following video will show you why.

Songkran Water festival

It is our second Song Kran (Thai New Year Water Festival). This is our Thai neighbours in a ceremony honouring their elders. They pour water over the elder's hands and the elder speaks a blessing to them.

Children's Camp

We ended up only going to the children’s camp for 1 day instead of the whole camp as the children and Lisa have been sick recently. There were more than 200 children at the camp and Lisa organised several craft activities for that day. We were only there for one day but we were thoroughly exhausted afterwards and thought we probably would not have lasted more than a day or two. We pray that the camp brought many Thai children to know Jesus.
