So our time in Thailand is dwindling. We only have
three days left of ministry and are heading to Cambodia on Saturday the 4th
of December. It’s so hard to believe we are starting our fourth month and
Christmas is upon us. Wow. I wanted to share with you a little bit of what
we’ve been doing this month.

We’ve been working with Baan Jai Diaw (BJD) which is part of
YWAM (Youth With A Mission) and is a ministry for college students. During the
day we clean up the buildings and go across the street to talk with college
students. This has been a challenging, yet exciting time of the day. God has
really opened up some communication barriers because we don’t know much Thai
and the students at Ram 2 University don’t know much English. We’ve managed to
meet a bunch of students that are English major and are eager to practice their
English. That’s been really neat to see.

The evenings consist of various activities including: Monday
night family night, Tuesday night worship, and Wednesday and Friday evening
English class.

I’ve really enjoyed English class. This past week the normal
teachers were out of town so my team and I got to teach the class. On Wednesday
we had a photo scavenger hunt and it was awesome. The students had so much fun
as it was a break from the school-like lecture. Some students are shy with
their English and its exciting to see them open up.

On Friday we cooked the students some American Thanksgiving
food. We had apple pie, pumpkin pie, and stuffing. Our team had a blast cooking
and the students really seemed to enjoy the stuffing. Before we ate, in true
American style, we went around the room saying what we are thankful for. One of
the students who I’ve really been working on trying to get him to use English
(he’s super smart, but super shy) said he was thankful for me! That right there
reminded me why I am here. To help bring a little of God’s love to people.
