I Am: Becky Bronson, a Short-term missionary with Mission to the World Thailand currently living in St. Louis, MO and attending Covenant Theological Seminary with my husband.
This blog includes personal experiences, observations, and thoughts on: our lives in Bangkok (and the States), our journey from Texas to Thailand to Missouri to Thailand again, my favorite Thai dessert – sticky rice & mango, also this blog’s namesake – and God’s daily mercies and His grace that is sufficient for us all…..
A few Stats:
Born April 2, 1980. My family still lives in San Antonio TX, my true home! Most of the rest of my family also lives in South TX. My parents both grew up in SA and we all went to the same high school.
Family: My husband, Andrew. Married April 16, 2005. Sister and Brother in law: Stacy & Nathan, and Brother: Matt. Also have 3 great sibling in-laws: Aaron & Erin, and Bethany Bronson, who all live in D.C. By the time Sept 2009 rolls around, we will have 3 nieces and nephews within 13 months: Keyes, Trevor, and one as-of-yet unnamed niece. I love being an aunt!
