Hello all,
There has been a lot of happenings in Nahong since my last update. The last you heard I asked you to pray for a girl named Lamud. She is a 6th grade girl who gave her life to Jesus last year. This year when we got here we found out very disturbing news, she had lost some of her memory and was not feeling well. Her mother had taken her to the temple and to 'wise men' who told Lamud that when she gave her life to Jesus it was not her but a spirit that had come into her. Lamud was blinded to the truth and believed the wise men. She forgot all of last year and her conversion to Christ.
That is when the praying started! Our team went to very hard intercession for this girl and we began to visit her in hopes to pray with her at her house. Her mother gave us that chance! We prayed with Lamud and her mother. The next day Lamud told us she had never known such joy! The following day she remembered her love for Jesus and asked her mother if she could give her life to Him. Mother approved!! As of tomorrow afternoon Lamud and some of her friends are starting a bible study with Cheyenne and Joanna!!! We hope to move the study to Lamud's house before we leave.
Now I'll tell another story about a teacher at the school whos name is Cru Nung...
Cru Nung was telling our team leader (Tom) that she was moving into a new house and that she was afraid of ghosts. She asked Tom if he was afraid of ghosts. Tom told her he wasn't and there was the openning. Tom went on to tell her why he was not afraid of ghosts, because of Jesus Christ. Since then Cru Nung has prayed to Jesus and we are continuing to disciple her!!
Another teacher Taweeb (formally Batime hee) has been told the gospel and really wants to talk about it in detail this week. GOD IS MOVING!!!
In other team news..
On Thursday this week our team (minus Tom) went to the Chiang mai zoo with the students! Itwas a gruling trip for sure but it was fun. We left for the 3 hour drive at 5am and got back to our house at 9pm (the teachers partied a bit).
The zoo was fun because they don't have cages like we do. I was 6 in away from two hippos which was sweet!
Yesterday we went with some Nahong friends up the moutain to see a natural sprig. The trip was quite the adventure! We ended up 5,000ft above sea level trecking through the jungle!!
So its safe to say that our spirits are high and we are PUMPED about what God is doing! it's also safe to say we are TOTALLY wiped out.
I love you guys and miss you all!
God bless,
