My first Sabbath in Bangkok as a live-here type personality was quite nice except for a tear in the pants. Three of us worshipped on Friday evening, and while the furniture looks lovely, the nails sticking up stuck it up my seat, and my most expensive item bot for myself since leaving Japan in October 2005 except for the computer now has a tear in it 🙁
Sabbath morning i was invited to give the sermon, and i did to all 10-11 gathered. I gave it on my personal life testimony, and on the 3 distinctive doctrines of Seventh-day Adventists. Most of the people are Filipino, with 3 Korean, and 1 Thai included. Later i was told that one of the young men was not SDA, and that this subject was good for him to get to consider the SDA faith. May God lead him into all truth.
There was no cooking on the Sabbath, for which i was very pleasantly surprised. The noodle salad was good, and the watermelon was excellent. That kept my mind clear for AY meeting in the afternoon, where we sang songs, i showed pics and videos of my trips, and of course the anime of the 1858gc book, and a moral story was told. A very pleasant first Sabbath as a Bangkokian.
