Yesterday was Father's Day in Thailand, and everyone got off work and out of school (that's how much they respect older people and parents in this country). We all gathered at the church building and had a day of games and sports (cards, volleyball, basketball, relay races, soccer, etc). It was a great time of fun and fellowship. After dinner we had our regular Wednesday evening worship. As part of it we had a foot washing for the leaders in the church, which, as foot washings are want to be, was very cool. It started with the leaders' children washing their feet (since it was father's day) and then anyone else that wished to show them their love and appreciation in this way was welcome to wash their feet also.
There was also a part of the evening where we lit candles and sang a song for Rama IX, the present king of Thailand, who is very much respected by the Thai people.
