Birthday Karting

Saturday, September 3rd, 2005

Hi again,
After a very wet start today we eventually got onto the racetrack. Luke had two friends, Ben and Henry, with him so there were 6 cars zooming round. These ones were limited to 60kph but felt very fast anyway! We had great fun and much sliding on the corners!

I have also included a photo of Mollie sifting Weevils out of the flour, and a closeup of the beasties and their larvae. Yum! We don’t bother with the brown flour. Whose going to know eh?

Please pray for Jacob as he has been getting a lot of homework this semester so far and needs to pace himself differently to get it done in less time.

Flooding

Friday, September 2nd, 2005

We have had our share of flooding here in Chiangmai along with central Europe and New Orleans. Our house was not affected but we were unable to get to church as we could see people ahead who were stuck in their cars and up to their waists in water. We turned round and revved hard as I could hear that the exhaust pipe was underwater.
A team of us from School split into various directions the following weekend to help out where needed. Our group helped clear mud from the pool at the Juniper Tree resort for missionaries. The water had been about a metre above the top of the pool. We have photos of it looking much nicer when we were there with our friends in the summer (see below).

In addition luke had his 11th Birthday today. We are off go-Karting tomorrow as a treat - great! I will post photos to make you envious after the event…

Bye for now,
Andrew
