That is enough cancer talk for today. I had a funny memory today (at least it is funny to me). It is the time that I used the scriptures to ward off crazy animals. I was on my mission in Thailand and I visited a city that is up country from Bangkok. I believe I was the only foreigner in the city and we went to the town center where a bunch of monkeys reside. We went in and all of the sudden, a bunch of monkeys came up to me. I thought it was kind of cool at first. I was trying to feed them. Out of the blue, they started climbing all over me and became very aggressive. This is where the scriptures came in. I had to use my scripture bag to beat the monkeys away from me. I knocked a couple of them away and they hissed at me. I got out of there as quickly as possible.
For whatever reason, different types of apes do not like me. My first month in Thailand, my companion and I were walking down the road and a Gibbon jumped out of the tree and smacked me on the head. It didn't hurt but it scared me to death. My companion was Thai and he was unscathed. I like to think that the monkeys were jealous of me (good looking, blonde hair, taller than most people they saw), but I really think that they were posturing because they thought I was a monkey...maybe they were right.

My hair is growing back, and it isn't all gray. :)

The mental picture of those monkeys all over you is rather funny. Wish you had a picture:-) Still praying and so glad you are feeling good! Love, Missouri
Lopburi?? I had the same experience. Me and Wilkey were there. Wilkey knocked one off my head with his briefcase. I've hated monkeys ever since. They're so creepy!!Satan'

Yes...it was Lopburi! One of my least favorite places in Thailand. I only went there once, but once was enough!
