At the end of February Chester finally got word that he could go work in Bangkok and that there was a place for him to live. And because Chester had been waiting for a while he acted immediately and bought a bus ticket, packed his bag and left that same night. While he was on the bus he suddenly realized what this step meant, “I’ve left my safe environment and am on my way to a completely new life.”
Chester now works with the communications department of YWAM(Youth With A Mission). He only works there in the afternoons because in order to effectively communicate in Thailand he needs to speak Thai fluently, which is why Chester is currently studying at a Thai language school to raise his level of Thai.
Chester lives near his work in a big family. It is a Thai couple with 2 biological children and 10 boys under the age of 16. He has his own room there.
It has become much quieter for us in Chiang Rai now that Chester is gone. Chester was gone much of last year as well for the bible school and in October for work in Bangkok, but it looks like this time he will be gone for a while longer.
