I went to THAILAND last night!!!

My friend invited me to her church for a Wycliffe Dinner Theatre. It was sooooo cool. It was extremely well done. When we walked in everything looked like we were in Thailand. The stage was in the middle with a huge bamboo frame all around it. There were two screens on either side of the room with a picture of Thailand showing on them (as the show progressed the pictures would change to help give setting.) They served as a traditional Thai dish called Kai Kang Dang - very good. We also had green tea. Then they did the first act. Then they brought out dessert - pineapple sorbet - oh my gosh, so good! And then they did the second act. The play was called "Sunong" which was the name of the main character, a man from Thailand. The play told the story of two linguist missionaries going to Thailand and trying to translate the Bible into this specific dialect in this extremely segregated Buddhist region. God sends them Sunong who will help them in exchange for them teaching him English. He is not a Christian. Through some persecution, the missionaries end up being sent home, Sunong thinks it was retarded of them to ever have come in the first place, but they leave their Bible with him. Second act: the missionaries end up going back to Thailand years later as linguistic professors in the university. Guess who shows up? Sunong! And, awesomely, he has become a Christian. The rest of the story is how Sunong wants to go back to his people now and translate the Bible for him now and the missionaries keep telling him that he needs to have more training in linguistics before he can do that. So at the end more people are translating the Bible and learning to translate the Bible and it's just super cool. And the whole production was excellent and my little rendition of it is not even comparable to the real thing. SO COOL!
