This is the kind I can eat. Some are sweet and some are a little sour.
Mangoes are abundant this time of year too. I'm kind of allergic to them, but there in one kind that I can get away with eating. My mouth breaks out only a little. Man, they sure are yummy!

This is one of my favorite trees in Thailand. It's not a pretty tree for most of the year, but in April it blooms out with the most beautiful yellow flowers. They come out quickly and hang there as though fairies went out in the night and carefully placed each of them like Christmas tree ornaments. They make me smile and feel light-hearted. I'll try to get a better picture soon. They just burst out in the last two days it seems.



I went over to tutor Lydia today. I haven't been there in a while because activities on both ends kept getting in our way. She's really growing. At least her hair is really growing. She's filling out into beautiful womanhood. She'll be 15 on July 2nd. She was 6 1/2 when I first met her. That seems like forever ago. She seems to have a good attitude these days too, but I'm not around enough to tell for sure and that's OK too. I don't need to know.

We've been memorizing Proverbs 31:10-31 in Thai for our Friday ladies Bible meetings. Neung (pictured here in the orange shirt) is the first to get it all word perfect. She did it fast too. I'm still struggling back on verses 23-26, but I'll get it eventually. It's kind of fun to be memorizing it in Thai and the Thai helps me remember it in English too. Neung got up in front of the church on Sunday evening and quoted it. Goong got up with her and quoted part and read part with her.

Look at this picture my friend Jessi's husband took. It's beautiful and it's pink!
