7-22-09 Update

Brethren,

We have arrived safely to Khon Kaen have been given a very warm Isaan welcome.  Dinner was provided for us last night (by Helen Caldwell), and we enjoyed time with Benz and Amp as well.  Yesterday and today have been spent uppacking and doing laundary- while trying to keep up with the boys.  Caleb has been asking about the swimming pool since we arrived to Khon Kaen, so I set up his small kid’s pool for him to swim yesterday.  Thanks for your prayers for Vicki’s illness.  She is feeling better but still has the cough (hopefully being away from the pollution of Bangkok will help her with that).  Vicki turns #% on Friday, so we are hoping to get a chance to get out and celebrate.

 

Ministry-wise, I will meet with Mark Caldwell this weekend to start making some sort of plan for language study and survey trips.  We live very close to the University, so I hope to utilize this closeness to find opportunities to share the Gospel with students and practice both the Thai and Isaan languages.  The upcoming survey trip will be to Roi Et, which I believe to be an hour and a half away. 

 

We don’t have internet access right now, so don’t worry if you don’t hear from us!  Our phone number and address are below.

 

Thanks for taking time to read and pray,

 

-Rich, for the Casebolts

P.S. Note our address at the bottom, and Vicki’s birthday is this Friday, July 24th.  (although it is too late to get something in the mail, folks might email her or drop something in the mail anyway).
