Lights in the Community

We awoke before the sun again for exercising. But today we did Zumba! So much better then running! We had an hour of worship with Sopo (the founder of ARK International) leading. During lectures we continued on the topic of God's nature. Our speaker, Sam, gave us many great stories that showed us how much God loves us :) We also spent a lot of time talking about how God is Just. We serve such an amazing King!

This afternoon we headed over to a Thai school that we do an after school program at. We had crafts, sports, and music workshops. I helped with the crafts and had a great time :) I found out today that Bangkok thai is different then Chiang Mai thai. So some of the thai I learned on my summer trip did not help me at all. In the second picture is my new friend...a Sugar Glider (flying squirrel). One of the girls I was making a bracelet with owned 2 of those little guys. They were so cute! A little about the school: The school we went to is a Buddhist school (those are the only public schools in Thailand). I think it is totally awesome that we are welcomed onto the campus, knowing that we are Christians, to spend time with these kids :) On the way home we all started singing our different National Anthems in the back of the Sung-tow (back of a truck with covering). We heard the National Anthems from USA, Canada, Indonesia, and France!

 

Special notice: We know that from March 31-April 4 we will be in Cambodia for a conference. We will be staying in Cambodia for one more week to do some outreach then we are coming back to Thailand for about a week to do a camp with the kids. I get to be a camp consular! Anyway after Thailand we leave for outreach. Our outreach location will be announced next Friday. We were also told that they are splitting our team for outreach. I am not excited about that. Please be praying for wise decisions for our outreach location and team placing.

 

So happy that there is no exercise in the morning! Goodnight from Thailand :)
