{FECA Vision Choir} report 2

 July 2 – We were suppose to sleep in this morning, and some of us did, but some of us were so jet lagged we woke up before 6 AM after going to bed around 3 AM (sleeping on the plane on the flight from Korea to Thailand didn't help our sleep pattern but it was much needed for our survival). Fortunately, we did not plan to do much today. We got some money from the ATM (thank God it worked this year unlike last year). At noon, we walked across the alley to the shopping mall and ate lunch at the food court there, spending less than 100 Baht each ($3) eating whatever we liked, soup noodles, won ton, etc. After changing some US dollars to Thai Baht so we had some spending money, we went back to the Bangkok Christian Guest House and spent almost two hours sharing our morning devotion and praying. We ate some amazingly sweet lichee and pineapples that we bought on the street and generally rested until 5 PM. We then met up with Dr. Apithan, who is a leader from the Binding Hearts (BH) Church and together with Sue Utadache, set up our schedule here in Bangkok and Yod Mahachavaroj, a former Vision member who invited us to dinner. We were joined by about 4 young people from the BC Church, including Gop (I spelled it Gom in the last report incorrectly) at dinner. Dinner was a magnificent buffet at a nearby restaurant, but because of the traffic, took us more time to drive there than if we had walked there. The fruits were of course wonderful, pineapples, papaya, mangostein, lichee, rambutan, and others too many to mention. There was sashimi, sharks fin soup (lots and lots of fins), maybe 50 dishes total. After dinner, we returned to the Guest House at a few minutes after 7 to join up with a total of 16-17 leaders and youth from the BH Church. We worshiped together, then prayed for our mission together, finally retiring early to get ready for Friday's ministry and catch up on our sleep. Ben Poli and Nadia, who left LA about the same time on June 30, are in Indonesia, and will not be joining us until Friday afternoon, so pray for Marshall who will have to preach at the afternoon outreach to about 60 staff workers at the YWCA (this was a change in schedule, something we have come to expect during past missions trips).
