We enjoyed another wonderful time of fellowship and worship, this time in Bang Daeng. Last Sunday was a joint worship with the two groups so today was different in that way. Rad and our family worshiped there, while Pat was with the group in Borabu. Before church, while the adults had bible study, we taught the kids English and made bracelets for a craft. There were 20 children at the service in Bang Daeng which is great to see. While we wer
e worshiping, the crew that we hired to work on the kitchen and wash room was busy working away. I kept thinking that maybe they would hear the message and see the caring that there was for one another and God could use this moment to work in their hearts.After church we ate, as always, and the kids played with the balls that we brought. It is great to teach them how to play with a football and Frisbee. Because of the big trip yesterday, we all crashed when we got home at 3:30.
In the evening we made New Years Cookies. I would like to think that these are the first ones ever made in Thailand!
This week we are working on 2 building projects in Bang Daeng. On Tuesday, we will organize a soccer game with a kid that is about Aaron's age and his friends after school in the town. Wednesday through Friday we will be teaching English at another school. One of the teachers there is a believer, and it will be good to see how this school compares to the last one.

Hello Bullers-
It is 10:55 am Bethesda time, and we are gathered as a class in our Sunday School room. The coffee is hot, and the conversation is good. We are missing several members today: Brent, JayDee, Jon and Jeff are all building cabins at Swan Lake. We are thankful for this service as well as the great work the Buller family is doing.
We enjoyed today's entry in your blogspot. Your church building project is an interesting contrast to our fellowship hall update - i.e. sheer function verses aesthetics.
Vernelle Epp read the section from your blog today in church about the snake. We of course in Sunday school went to your blogspot right away to check out the pics - yep, that's a big snake. Corey and Justin wanted to know if you got to sample the snake soup? We think, really, that to be part of your cultural responsibility.
Justin, always a 4-H guy at heart, wants to know if anything new has developed regarding the cow sharing project and what there might be to report. Let us know when you can.
We're all sorry that Kaelyn hasn't been feeling well, and we hope that she is feeling better soon so that her memory of the trip is not tied to being ill! We will be praying for her, and of course for all of you in this great adventure!
