Quick update from Thailand:
We don’t have internet very often. I am writing this from an Internet cafe. This month we are teaching English at a Thai Buddhist school in Rayong, Thailand. I am teaching 9-to-12 year-olds, and they’re such sweet kids. A typical school day looks like this:
6 am- Wake up/quiet time
7 am- Team devotional
8 am- Our ministry contact picks up the team. We all pile into his pickup truck.
8:30 am- Classes begin. Our team is split up into three groups and each group teaches about 7 classes each week. When we aren’t teaching, we grade papers, play with kids in the field in the field in front of the school, do a prayer walk around the campus and the nearby Buddhist temple, or have some time to study the Bible.
3:30 pm- After class, our ministry contact picks us up.
4-6 pm- Team time/free time
6-9 pm- Dinner/prayer/fellowship
9-10 pm- Feedback
10 pm- Bed
Our ministry contacts are great! The love of Christ is so visible in them, and they really spoil us with home-cooked traditional Thai meals and delicious Thai snacks and fruits. They have taken us to the beach and a hot pot restaurant, and we may get to visit a zoo later on in the month and ride elephants.
Last night during prayer time, our team got to tell three Thai girls about Jesus. It was the first time they had heard of Christianity.
