Well Becca and I just came back from talaat noy (small market) at the university, which is a great place to shop and buy food (cheap!). We enjoyed sticky rice and moo ping (pork on a stick) along with a yummy smoothie :) Last Friday night us girls walked a much bigger market that is only open Friday and Saturday nights and can be a little overwhelming at first with just floods of people shopping. You just kind of have to jump in a walk with the masses (better not try to walk the opposite direction!)...
Saturday night our party turned out great! There were only about 6 or 7 Thais that came, but we had a blast nonetheless! Playing Uno, chatting, and eating were probably the main highlights of the night :)
Sunday, our team had such a blessed time of worship together in the morning, where we sang, prayed, and shared Scripture with each other. It was so encouraging to lift each other up and hear how God is working in their lives as well. We enjoyed going to the Vietnamese restaurant for lunch, and in the evening we had Thai church. We meet in one of the church members houses, and it was amazing to see the Thai Christian family from last year (Ot, Gai, Nuan, Kopter, and Tra)... They are filled with such joy, and it was exciting to reunite with them and hear about how God's been providing for them and being faithful.
Today was our first day of teaching-- and it was splendid! The students seemed to really enjoy the activities we did, which consisted of some more introductory sort of things...playing a name game, tossing around a beach ball with simple questions on it, and singing "If you're happy and you know it". Later in the day, Becca and I got to tutor/teach a couple of high school girls named Faa and Deer...they were a little shy at first but very sweet. I'm looking forward to helping them learn English once a week.
Anyway, we'll be teaching some more in the morning... so I look forward to sharing with you all at the end of the week!

I love reading you blogs. I feel like I can hear you saying everything as I read it. Glad to hear your party went well. I know those were some of the highlights from last summer, so I'm glad the first one started off great. Write more... miss and love you!
