Kim and Jeremy in Thailand

On Saturday, Angela and I went out and saw the floods. We were trying to get to McDonald's, but instead all we saw was flooding. The amount of water here is just incredible. The Christian bookstore downtown has five FEET of water inside. And neighborhoods several kilometers away from the river have feet of water in them. Many of the roads were flooded-we had to turn back because we couldn't get through in a car. It was so sad to see the homes that are obviously owned by poorer people here in Thailand literally halfway underwater. I don't know where these people are living now or what kind of loss they have sustained, but we know that for some people, they have lost almost everything. I wish I had pictures to show you.

We aren't sure if our church was officially cancelled, but it's built on a hill right next to the river. The church is probably dry, but we didn't think that there was any way we could get there without a boat. So we had our own church service this weekend, listening to a sermon tape from one of the Fishers' supporting churches in California. Then we had dinner at Mike's-Jeremy had wanted American food and they have some great burgers there. It was a good meal!
