Rice Grains

Wednesday evening our team met at the Masts' house for a time of sharing and prayer. Following that we ate the evening meal together. Tom took his motorcycle to go buy supper. While he was gone it began to rain, first just sprinkling, then POURING down. Candice started laughing and told us that every time Tom goes to buy pork, he ends up getting soaked. Sure enough, this was no exception. He was completely soaked through when he got back with the rain still coming down in sheets.

Our meal was very tasty: grilled pork strips, sticky rice, and somtam (papaya salad).

Tom demonstrates how to eat somtam and sticky rice Thai style.

Raul demonstrates how NOT to eat sticky rice.:)

When I left for my apartment (with the rain continuing to pour down), I walked to the end of Tom and Candice's street in ankle deep water; then I flagged a taxi and had a dry ride home.
