This morning was spent cutting rice out in the rice fields....interesting stuff....a lot of the rice had been out in the field too long because the guy we were helping couldn't afford to hire someone to help him cut it. so it had just died in the hot sun. Puts a whole new view on the verse in Matthew “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
Lots of people are ready to hear God's word, but who's going out to tell them? They won't be there forever...
food for thought.
on another note, a random fact I learned at dinner time last night: the Thai phrase for it's time to eat when translated means "eat rice". so even when they have something else for dinner, that's what they're saying: eat rice. gives you an idea of how much they eat it! I think I've had it about 3 times a day since I got here.....good thing I like it! :)
well, that's all for now! Hope you're all doing well back home!
For me it would be "eat pasta!"
