Had a pretty good fruitful day today.

We haven't had faucet / city water here for 2 days and may not have it for 3 days. I woke up inspired to do something for the community, seeing an opportunity to provide bottled water. We do not yet have the store open with our own machinery, but we do have a supplier of water. I went knocking on doors asking them if they wanted water, and many misunderstood initially. But throughout the day we were able to have "face time" with a few neighbors we don't typically don't speak with. We were able to provide water to the people who you have been praying for, and their friends. It's funny because right when I had the idea to do that, simultaneously a friend sent me an SMS that quoted Ephesians 2:10 We were created in Christ Jesus to do good works.

We went to the mall to study where there's running water in the rest room. We usually stop by at the DVD shop and share stories about our lives and always bring testimonies of Jesus to the friendly Islamic men who run the shop. They remember us and always remember our pictures and stories. We've given them bible pamphlets. Please pray that one day there will be a decision on their part to follow the truth and the Good News.

We came back and taught English for 5 adults today. I've been helping Tammy with ideas to make the class more interesting and catered to the backgrounds of the professionals coming into the class. I think Tammy and I are a pretty good team. The folks who have come thru this week seem to be enjoying the format. After the class they all were so curious to know more about us. This is when we usually share our story on why we are in Thailand, and plant some seeds about our faith. One gentleman asked if I play a song on the guitar, but I only know Christian songs. So that gave me another opportunity to share about the Lord. Praise God. Tammy spoke a lot with her students, and I enjoyed meeting a fellow engineer that is so interested in offering his volunteered service towards the water project. So we made some new friends.

We visited Suchia, and found out her helper would like to come to church on Sunday. We'll see if she comes or not, but praise God that she said she'd like to, without even inviting her. Her name is Kay. She thinks I'm funny because I eat too much and I accidentally bit into a lime the other day.
We went to the prayer meeting and it was good to meet up with many of the leaders of the church, young and old, and pray together for the community.

| A typical Friday prayer night, but now young adults are coming too. |
Lastly Pastor Tae asked if I could help pick up some tap water from his new building where they are going to place the water system. It was good to catch up and serve the members of the church. We had to drag a bunch of pails into the church and into our own home where we share with a family.
It seems like your faithfulness in lifting up our ministry in prayer is really bearing much fruit. Praise God!!!!
Alex and Tammy
