Thanksgiving in Thailand! We have so much to be thankful for! God has been wonderful to us. We’ve completed a new church building, seen souls saved, had a new addition to our family, and by the grace of God we survived another year! It hasn’t been without problems and hardships, yet the Lord has seen us through it all. Rachel’s parents are here celebrating with us on this Thanksgiving. Lots of good food, friends and much to be thankful of has made this a wonderful day.
Tiffany Elaine Jones was born on November 16, 2006 at 2:18 PM in Udon Thani, Thailand. She weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces and was 21 inches at birth. Because of complications during an extended labor, Rachel delivered Tiffany via cesarean section. Thank you to all who prayed for Rachel and the new baby. Both are healthy and doing fine. Rachel delivered the baby here in Udon at the same hospital that Tara was born at. Rachel’s parent’s kept Tara at the house and I stayed in the hospital with Rachel. She should be released on Saturday, but will have to take it slow for a while until she recovers from the surgery. Like last time, I watched the C-section through a window. They wouldn’t let me in the room, but I did get some really neat video(i.e. disgusting, blood and guts horror movie stuff). I guess I know my wife inside and out now. Tiffany is so beautiful! A miracle, seeing I’m her father. Praise God!
We are blessed to have Rachel’s parents visiting with us here in Thailand this month. They have been such a help to both of us, especially since Rachel could go into labor at any time now. Tara is enjoying here Grandma and Papaw being here and is getting spoiled to death. She’s got her Papaw wrapped around her little finger. It’s great to see her have the attention she craves from her grandparents, since we are so far away from our family in the States. Please be praying for Rachel. She is VERY ready to have this baby, and we are all getting anxious. Maybe by the next entry I’ll have some exciting news. God bless!
Very few people have access to Thai Bibles, which cannot be purchased locally here in Udon. We do not have enough even to give to those who come to church. Will you help us provide the Word of God to the Thai people? A complete Thai Bible (Old and New Testament) can be purchased for approx. $16. If you would like to help, send funds earmarked “Thai Bible Fund” to our sponsoring church at 3210 Ave G NW, Winter Haven, Florida 33880
