Hospital Visit
After church today, I went to BMK Hospital to see Skip and Carol Tobin (working with EMM in northeastern Thailand). Skip had back surgery last week but is doing really well from all appearances. Friends of theirs with Mennonite Church Canada Witness were also there for a visit. I had met them once previously at the Anabaptist Retreat in April, so it was nice to reconnect a bit and to find out more about them and their work in Thailand.
After visiting a while, we went our separate ways. Since Carol is my mentor, she and I took the opportunity to eat a meal together at a restaurant in the hospital. A bit pricey, but very tasty. I ordered a broccoli shrimp stir fry...
...and it came complete with my own "little" glass of red chillies.:)
I did use about an eighth of a teaspoon of them, one of which got stuck somewhere in the recesses of my throat, resulting in one eye only filing with tears and face turning red.:)
