A New Believer

I just found this out today! One of the long term people sent this to all of the former thai reach teams.

Geat, Faa, and Dow (Dow being the baby)

I wanted to give you another quick update on G....she's continued to attend our meetings and always brings her girls along. L. has also been at a couple of the recent meetings. Last night L., C.,and I ate supper with them and then sat around talking with her after he left for work. She talked more about where she is at in her faith. She says now that she believes in God. She told us about how one time she prayed while she was cooking that God would be with her and show her the way. (She also said that F. prays to Jesus that she'll be able to study well :)) G. said that she wants to continue studying as there is still so much that she doesn't know. We encouraged her to do that and also encouraged her to look for God's work in her life. We've talked about the Holy Spirit recently so she's thinking about that. She said that she's talked to her Mom about what she's doing and she asked her Mom if the family would be opposed. Her Mom said that yes, there would be plenty of people who would be unhappy if she "switched religions."
Without us really talking much about this G. has come to the conclusion that baptism is an important turning point - the sign that she's made the change. Last night she said that she's not ready for that yet - but believes that "one day" she will be. Her mom said something similar - that if G. continues studying the day will come when she can be baptized, but her mom isn't ready for her to do that yet.

This is so sweet! G. is the lady who became like a second mom to me while I was in Thailand. It is so cool to see God moving.
