May 29, 2022

 




I have tried twice to put the pictures in chronological order but failed both times, so this may be a little confusing.  

Jackie bought this flower arrangement about a week ago.  It about died.  She dressed it up with eucalyptus leaves today and it looks good and smells great.  A woman of many talents.  She also made some good tom kha gai soup today.  



We have a young missionary here that likes to cut hair.  It looks like a barbershop.  He makes enough money at it that he can pay for his own haircut by a professional. 


We went to a town called Pomaire yesterday. Jackie wanted to buy some pottery. The whole town is pottery shops.  When we were walking back to the car she saw what she wanted and bought it.  Jackie is wearing a blue vest with a reflective stripe in the center of the picture. 



The streets of Pomaire we pretty empty.  It was a cold cloudy day.  






We ate dinner in Pomaire.  It was a open restaurant. There was a patio heater near our table but we still froze. 






The waiter could see we were still freezing about halfway through the meal and brought a metal box full of hot coals and put beside our table.  It warmed us up pretty well and didn't catch the table on fire. We struggled to understand the waiter when we were ordering.  When we went to pay he started speaking English to us.  He spoke perfect English.  I wish he had started it sooner.  




We donated a large washer that we no longer needed to a fire station out by Pomaire. That is the van we use. 




The firemen were watching Arnold Schwartz... on the TV when we arrived. 




We no longer let the young missionaires ride bikes due to excessive danger so we are donating them also.  



We came out of a restaurant and some people had their 3 dogs in a stroller and had them at the table with them.

My anniversary card for Jackie.  Thirty eight great years. 


Jackie feeding a homeless man outside our office. 


Some awsome young missionaries.  One of them going home for heart surgery and hopefully coming back.
