Throughout the first week of November we were treated to a visit by our friends from the Thai Faith and Music Foundation (
TFMF) in Bangkok. It was fun to see some new faces and familiar faces. I spent a week visiting and learning from
TFMF in January, 2008, during my Mission and Ministry in Asia course through North Park Theological Seminary (
NPTS). Our friend,
Ek, from
TFMF, came to learn a new rhythm routine on the Big Gong and is pictured to the right. The routine, taught by
Ot, looked rather complicated and took a couple of days for
Ek to master. So far
I've only seen men (Pooh
Chai) play the Gong, but maybe I'll have a go at it and break this gender specific instrument. We'll see...I'll let you know if I make any progress toward accomplishing this task. The photo to the left is displaying an extremely delicious meal conducted by
Ba'Ruth, in the blue, who is
Ba'Anan's sister-in-law. She's also in a photo I posted earlier of a the pinning/welcome ceremony help back in January in Bangkok. It was quite a joy to see her again and
contemplate the process of becoming a Short-Term Missionary was beginning to be cultivated among the group from
TFMF almost one year ago. This picture also introduced me to a new method of grilling. If you look carefully you'll see that the fish are on top of a hollow clay pot that is fill with a burning substance, wood I believe.
