Another week at Philokalia

Its been an interesting week here at Philokalia.

We have been discussing about how difficult is has been to keep up with the plants and trees that have been planted. Its a big job keeping everything watered and weeded.(we are in dry season now) We came up with a plan to have individuals and families choose the trees and plants they want to be responsible for, and then they will be watering and weeding these trees all year. This was announced during announcement time on Sunday during the service. After church found individuals and families claiming their sections, weeding and watering their trees with much enthusiasm. This will help our community to feel ownership of the land, and play a big part in its success in the future.

Today Jerry and Prawit are going out to find someone to dig our well at the land so our water supply will be plentiful as we begin to add housing and families living at the center.

Our Saa Paper project continues to work on spring designs and making gift bags for spring and summer. Update on Cartoon.... Cartoon has done well after her burn, and there is no infection.

Muay is a young girl from a near by village that comes to help the saa paper group after she comes home from school. She showed me some of her designs on Sunday.They are pretty good for her first try. She is 13 years old, and has been coming to the Sunday services since we moved out near her home. She loves working with the saa paper also. Please pray for Muay as she hears the Good News for the first time.

We are still experiencing cool weather, and there are a lot of colds and flu going around. We had good attendance on Sunday, but a few are still home getting over their illnesses. Especially pray for Iet. She has been having stomach problems for the past 2 months.

Thanks again for your interest in Philokalia. If there is information you would like, or a subject matter you would like me to address on this site, please make your request known!
