hospital visit

So, it sounds bad right? But here, you go to the hospital even if you only need to see a regular doctor. So, Thursday, I went for a hospital visit just to get some meds. It was the first time that I had seen Khon Kaen in the daytime, so it was cool to be able to see the city. It is very different from Bangkok on the main streets but is similar when you turn onto the side streets. The doctor prescribed some medicine just to help clear out my sinuses. I got an antibiotic as well to prevent anything else. Basically, I just have a thaisinusinfectionosis! I guess that is the only scary sounding name I could make up :) But, when the germs are different, its a little harder to conquer. But, no big deal, sickness is sickness and we go on with life!

Yesterday, we had a valentines day party at the small school here for the campus outreach missionary kids. It was great to be able to meet all of the kids and some of their parents. We had a good time! I also got to go out to eat with Snow and Honey, two of the thai women on staff with Campus Outreach. We ate lunch with some of the girls on campus they are discipling. I had my first thai spiciness experience when I accidentally ate something really spicy! It got semi-stuck in my throat so the spiciness kept on coming! Needless to say, my face was probably very red, I was coughing... and crying. Haha I wish I had a picture! But I'm sure the embarrassment will be imprinted in my mind ;) I'm glad I got to have at least one spicy experience. I don't think I need anymore.

Here is a picture of the women I ate lunch with yesterday.

Prayer praise: I'm feeling a lot better hooray! Valentines party went well!

Prayer requests: There are a few bugs going around the team. Please pray for health for them!
Also, while at the hospital, we met two American women. One lives in Thailand, and the other is a missionary in Scotland just visiting Thailand. The missionary in Scotland's husband discovered he had a  7 cm brain tumor while in Thailand and had immediate surgery. It has been a rough, crazy week for them. Not sure the danger of the tumor, but they couldn't remove all of it because it would affect his speech. They are not at home in America, or in Scotland. Can you imagine? I know they would appreciate prayers!
Thank you!! To God be the glory!
