stranded in lamphun!
the past couple of days really made us feel like we're some circus troupe...but i thank God for the many many opportunities to share the story of Christmas, and to tell of God's love when He sent His only Son to this world so we may be reconciled with Him...so far we've put up the musical 4 times: at wachirawit school, shiloh b-p church, and even went to another province (lamphun) to perform at a polytechnic and night market! thank God for putting members who are well-versed in mandarin on the team, because we were told last minute that shiloh b-p was having an outreach to chinese nationals on an exchange programme and so, auntie christine, annabel and diana had to translate the musical to mandarin just the night before that performance!
the trip to lamphun was definitely an unforgettable one. after performing at the night market, we were all tired and just wanted to get back to chiangmai...only to find out that our truck's battery had been stolen =( but to cut the long story short, bro nat showed us Christian love by driving all the way down to lamphun with his neighbour's battery. some of our team members were given a ride back by the pastor's son of the lamphun church. by the time the rest of us got back, it was almost 1am. but i was touched by the love the other team members showed by staying up to wait for us to return; some even waiting at the entrance of the guest house to welcome us :) i thought the pastor's son was rather sacrificial too, when he drove the other team members all the way to chiangmai...cos he'll have to drive back to lamphun again. even tho we were all extremely tired, i thank God that the few of us (auntie amy and i were actually the only ladies left - very gentlemanly of the uncles and young men who stayed behind so the aunties, young ladies and children could return first) were stranded in lamphun because we got to fellowship with one anor and with the lamphun church youths who were moving their equipment from the stage area back to their church :)
