Happy Birthday, Elder Brown

Ray said it was "just another day" but not to me! I am so grateful for him; words cannot tell! Our kids called which was a highlight of the day.

We had a service project at a member's house--Sister Somridii's, this lovely tiny lady. The rest were the volunteer helpers, a great crew!

As you can see, her roof really needed repair. This is her sitting area and certainly not very comfortable when it is raining!

 

This is Brother Suwan, Sister Somridii's husband. He was a sam loy driver until he became disabled.

Washing dishes.

Leveling the dirt at the side of her house.

We worked for a while, but that ended when it started pouring rain--she lived down a dirt road and our little Toyota can't handle deep mud very well.We had to finish another day.

We met the sister missionaries for lunch at Los Amigos, the Tex-Mex restaurant in town,  so they could celebrate with us. They sang "Happy Birthday" and his praises. Each took a turn telling  him what they appreciated about him. It was great, and so are they! At dinner time, President Wongsagorn and Sister Anne brought pork satay and a yummy white cake with orange filling and frosting. It was beautiful. (I was sorry I didn't get a picture of it.) Very delicious and fun to share it with good friends.

The sisters came with an ice cream cake complete with lighted candles and another rendition of "Happy Birthday" (but not Brown style for those who know what that means). We laughed and ate and enjoyed the special day.

Happy Birthday to my dear, sweet, wonderful, wise, spiritual, adorable husband. (and no, this wasn't hacked!)
