Contagious Toothaches

About a week ago Oliver thought he had a collapsed lung, Mordeggi assured him that it was not. Most likely he just sprained a muscle between his ribs. Regardless, it put him in a world of hurt. This world I was welcomed into shortly after Oliver started recovering. Last Wednesday night I thought I had a toothache, Mordeggi assured me that if I had no tooth, it would not ache. Twelve hours later I was one step closer to looking like a professional hockey player. But why not watch it happen:

For those who were concerned during the video, I was very adequately numb, and the hole is closed up. I even chewed some Pad Thai on the left side of my mouth for the first time in around a year. I am keeping the tooth and might put it on a necklace.


We left Cambodia on Friday and stayed in Bangkok near the river closer to the city and the bus station. This was important because Monday we hit the road to go to Rachaburi to work with a YWAM couple there. Rachaburi is famous for the floating market, so hopefully we can view that, with snorkles! We spent Saturday and Sunday in Bangkok hanging with the YWAM crew, going to churches, and on Sunday night we went into some of the "red-light" alleys with a man named Jim that we met at church. Jim organizes The Well and he has one of the most amazing fathering hearts I have ever encountered. We are constantly being amazed and humbled here. Please keep us in your prayers over there! "Do justly, Love mercy, and walk humbly with The Lord your God!" I read that this morning and I love the simplicity of it!
