Toilet Humor

I find the restroom signs here to be quite funny. The restrooms themselves on the other hand, not so funny...

Jake's Artsy Side

Its not really a secret that Jake loves to take pictures. We have more photos of sunsets, bugs, flowers, clouds and the ocean than anyone else I know. I complain about it sometimes...but really, I'm glad he likes to take pictures. Because then we end up with lovely memories like these. Most of these photos were taken from our apartment on the 5th floor. Nice colors, thanks to all the air pollution:-)

Work Day

We spent last Saturday cleaning up the Kingdom Hall and its grounds in preparation of the memorial. It was a huge turnout! We had a lot of fun as you can see. That day a storm was rolling in which made it extra humid. Everyone was so sweaty! Even my knee caps were sweating. I didn't even know that was possible...but I guess it is:-0 Right after the cleaning crew finished and left, the storm hit. Good timing.

Invitation Work

We have been busy these last few weeks getting all the memorial invites out to the territory. The thai congregation ran out of their invites in a week and a half! And they weren't leaving them at not-at-homes either. Even though they ran out, there are still so many territories that didn't even get touched! There is such a need here! In the english group, we had about 300+ names and addresses to go back to. We managed to cover all of them in a few weeks time as well. We are excited to see the turn out this Thursday. I think between the thai congregation and the english group, there were 16 or 17 who signed up to put in 30 hours in March. That is aside from all the regular pioneers and the ones who just increased their time in the ministry. Our service groups were extremely well supported all throughout the month as I'm sure they were around the world.

There's always money in the Banana Stand...

I will miss these...

Friends

Well, we only have a little over a week left here in glorious Thailand. We knew that the time would fly by, but we had no idea it would fly so fast! We have made some great new friends here in Pattaya. I will post a few pictures of our worldwide brotherhood:-)

We have pictures from a bbq we went to hosted by our Russian brothers and sisters. There are two brothers from Korea, both of which have served time in Korean prison for not enrolling in the military. Then there is a group of lovely sisters: Gina, Olga, Amy, Dasha, Ina (with the cool hair:-) and Liza from the U.S., Russia and Germany. Next is a picture of Antonella and Carlos, from Italy. And last but not least, a cool little fam from the Pacific Northwest, the Crismans from WA.
