This is a little blip from a luncheon I attended with the very sweet ladies from my church.
(While ordering)
Church Lady: What would you like to eat?
Kristie: (quickly tries to scan the menu for the characters for “rice” or “noodles” and then “beef”, “pork”, or “chicken”) The chicken rice seems good.
Church Lady: What kind of tea do you want to drink?
Kristie: I don’t want any tea. Can I get water? (the last thing I need is all that sugary sweetness plus caffeine)
Church Lady: But the tea, it’s free.
Kristie: But I just want water.
Church Lady: But the tea is free. It comes with your meal. Choose one.
Kristie: I know, but I only want water.
Church Lady: (switches to English) But it’s FREE!
Kristie: hmm…OK, OK, iced green tea is fine.
Hi Jason, Kristie, and Ellie,
I loved your pictures and the catching up with everyone. I am sharing some of the pictures with our missions ladies. We continue to remember you in prayer and will pray for the decisons that you will be making. As always, God will open doors for his devoted workers. God bless you in His service.
Love in Christ, our Savior,
Barbara
