A Busy Weekend

One evening every 6 weeks we meet with 6 other families that are like minded for fellowship. 5 Nationalities are represented and the kids attend 3 different International schools, we have all met through various Bible studies and wanted to schedule a time of fellowship predominantly for our children to build relationships here in this new land. God has provided each of them to help make our adjustment easier, fellow co-labourers of Christ here in Thailand. I'll post pictures from our last fellowship this last Saturday.

On Sunday afternoon we attended a fellowship for the men's and women's Bible studies that meet each week through our church. The ladies just completed Beth Moore's Daniel study and will start next week on Monday mornings her Fruits of the Spirit study. The men are going through 2 Timothy on Tuesday nights.

Tonight we joined Mark in kicking off the Esso Sports Club Futsal season. Futsal is a popular form of soccer played in Thailand. It is played on a basketball court with 5 people per team. It's a fast paced, physical game. The season trophy has Mark's initials on it because Exxon pays for the event. Mark's initials are MEN but when we arrived in Thailand they started using MNO-M for Mark and NO for Northcutt-go figure? Anyway, it was funny to see that the season trophy is the MNO trophy. Mark had to make some opening comments and officially kick off the season. We enjoyed the Thai buffet provided for all participants for the most part. We all avoided the cubes of congealed blood in the curry, it looks like squares of liver but is blood. The Thai people are all amazed at how we all like spicy foods, it's like we gain respect in their eyes because we can handle their spicy food, we love it! We had a nice time watching the first 40 minute match of Futsal tonight.
