Next battle won
I just got a call from "Mae" reminding me that she turns 14 tomorrow. I've written 3 posts about her here, here and here. A few months ago a mission team found Mae working at a snooker bar dressed in a mini-skirt. She joined The Well, but for a while we were concerned that she had strong walls around her heart. We even had a challenge going among the workers that the first one to get through to Mae would win a Mexican dinner--an expensive treat in Bangkok.
As it turned out, we all won. Mae still has somewhat of a coarse manner, but has indeed warmed up to being loved. Tonight she had two requests--a birthday cake and a hug from "Mom and Dad"--Judy and me. Before hanging up I told her I loved her. As much as I enjoy Mexican food, her answer was incomparably precious. "I love you so much, Dad."
We plan to visit the States next in 2009. The dinner can wait until then.
