Nothing Short of Thankful

What's up my peeps? It's your boy Mattie-Matt shouting at you from Thailand!

I just want to say thank you for your prayers and support during this entire Adventure! We (Americans - "Farangs") are so blessed with "stuff". Please take a moment and look around at what you have... check that... look around at what God has blessed you with and be thankful. Use what you have to bless others because it's all just gonna fade away one day. (I hesitate to say these things with Thanksgiving approaching because it is expected... to be thankful during this time of year. If we only give thanks one week or one season during the year, we have to step our game up! You can dig it.)

God is opening our eyes to great needs here in Thailand... yesterday (thursday), I saw The Lord work through Nurse Jane, Dr Wynn, Dr Bill and our translator, Moses, as they treated several Burmese refugees... from small babies to the elderly who have absolutely zero access to Doctors and medicines. Be thankful.

Last night we got some pizzas for all of the students to eat... for most of them, it was the first time they had ever eaten pizza! I'm talking 18 and 19 years old, zero pizza until last night. We eat pizza all the time... often, multiple times in one week. Be thankful.

The team is doing well and appreciates your prayers. Chuck is destroying his class on Islam (he's doing a really good job)... Kenny and Gail are crushing English Class... Doc and Cliff are "spot on" with working on the Orphanage... Jane, Wynn and Bill (because of his military medic experience) are preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ without using any words, just love and medicines... and I am speechless at the sight of this "well oiled machine". Be thankful.

thank you for reading... my friend Doc will hit you soon.
Grace & Peace
