Return To Thailand: Easter

Sunday, April 24, 2011

Easter

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a great time at church and with family and friends.

Please keep my friend who had a baby on April 20th in your prayers. Baby Molly was re-admitted to the hospital yesterday with jaundice and they're testing her for hypothyroidism. Pray that she can be treated quickly and easily so she can go home with her parents.
