Trang

It's been a fun weekend in Trang. One thing I love about coming here is riding around with K on the back of her motorbike making RVs. However, I've never visited during the rainy season before. On our way back to her house yesterday afternoon, it started to rain. We pulled over to put rain jackets on but then it started raining even harder. So we decided to wait it out for a bit under some shelter. After about 45 minutes of continuous hard rain, we thought we may as well head back even though it hadn't let up at all. We got pretty wet! Fortunately we were on our way back instead of to another RV. I must say, though, riding on a motor bike in the rain is a pretty cool sensation!

The meeting went well today. J had a song, K interpreted the talk and I read half the WT. There was 1 deaf lady that attended. Even days they don't have a deaf person come, they still interpret the meeting for practice. The sisters down here work really hard!

After the meeting the cong went on an outing to see some waterfalls. There are only 24 publishers here in Trang and about 15 people went. After having lunch and waiting out a quick rain shower, we climbed some rocks on steep banks and followed the rocks into the water. Most everyone, including the older sisters and young kids (2 yr olds!) got in the water. J and some others braved the rain and, getting a head start, climbed up the river to where the highest waterfall was. I say "climbed" because you literally have to climb the rocks in the river up towards where the waterfall begins. K and I tried to catch up with them but only got as far as their shoes. It was a great time!

So tomorrow morning we're off to the beach! Yipee! Here's where we're staying: http://www.pornresortkohlipe.com/ Awful name, I know. But porn is actually said "pawn" and it means "blessing". I'm sure we'll have a blessed time.
