The weather has been really strange for this time of year, and has caused a lot of sickness. It is warmer than usual, overcast and humid, and the sky has a weird cast to it. Lots of people are sick. Thai people always blame sickness on the change in weather, but this time I think they are close to the mark!
That said, we had a nice turnout Sunday for our worship service. We had five out sick, with various stomach and cold issues, but we had four visitors who are not regulars, attend... which was nice.

Please pray for Cartoon. She is the 2 year old granddaughter of Oley, one of our Saa paper workers. She received 3rd degree burns on her hand Sunday evening when her mother was boiling water to bathe her. Cartoon stayed over night in the hospital Sunday evening but we hope to hear news this evening that she has been released.

The saa paper group are busy designing new cards and bags for our Spring line. We hope to mail a box to the States by the end of January to make them available by the end of February. By the way, if you would like to order hand made cards or gift bags, write to Adele at spurgina@hotmail.com. We have some nice Valentine cards!

We had our planning meeting for the year this morning. To be continued tomorrow morning. The plans for this coming year are shaping up nicely, and we are excited about the possibilities ahead of us.

Thank you for your interest and support. If you have any questions or would like to make any comments about the work, please respond!!! God Bless!!!
