Two flights, a taxi-cab ride (including a mistaken side-trip to the bus station), a 17hr train ride (14hr standard ride + 3hrs for striking an intoxicated pedestrian), and a songtao ride to the church (as we didn't have a home to return), we safely arrived back in Northern Thailand early Friday morning (even with all our luggage)!
Thank you all for covering us with your prayers. Please pray for that man who was hit. The Holy Spirit prompted me to go and help. Thank the Lord, I obeyed. I arrived at the scene just in time to avoid absolute catastrophe from the First Responders about to paralyze the man with their "technique" or rather lack of training.
You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever. ~Psalm 16:11 NLT
Here we were concerned that you were being overly consciencious in frugality (taking a 14hr train ride vs a 1 hr plane hop from Bangkok to Chiang Mai) but this just proves that Bible verse: "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord." (Psalm 37:23). And we can only imagine how many future lives you've also provided immeasureably higher quality to, by your demonstration of correct methods to the First Responders.
