Just a few days ago, The Mr. and I had the opportunity to spend some time with our wonderful friends who serve as missionaries in Thailand. You can read about their ministry here. They have been in Thailand for over a year, and a lot of that time has been spent learning the language.
Yes, learning the language.
You see the language is a tricky one. Different inflections make the same letters a different word. That is mind boggling amazing to me, yet by the grace of God our friends have learned so much. They shared a prayer in Thai and they even showed us how our names looked in the language. It was awesome. They learn so they can develop personal relationships with the people they long to serve. They don't learn it because it's easy. They don't learn it because it's convenient. They learn it to share the Gospel. It's a beautiful thing.
Culture.
We are surrounded by it. The culture of each city and workplace is different. Seek to learn the language. Seek to serve. Seek to share Christ.
Love is in the language.
