Khao Yai

Hi! This past week has been pretty busy, yet nothing out of the ordinary. Teaching is moving right along. My students have had a few small projects and my writing classes have had their first in-class writing exam. I'm also starting to see signs of school becoming a normal routine rather than being fun. It only took 4 weeks. How I remember being a student and having that feeling. hahaha. I've been able to chat with my students a good bit. One of them carried a small tape player for me and walked all the way to my office while we chatted. I've also been able to chat with some of my students from last term. Pray that God will develop these relationships and that I will be able to share Christ with them.

I invited two of the American college students to come into my Listening and Speaking 2 class and just talk with my students. One of them was able to share his testimony and tell them why Christians go to church every Sunday. Many times students feel Christians have to go to church and do many other things. They're a little surprised when they find out we actually want to go to church and want to read our Bibles, etc. Praise God!

My church took some students to Khao Yai this weekend. It's about 2 hours away from Bangkok in the mountains. It's gorgeous and a nice change of pace. We went to a waterfall, swam in a natural spring, and played a lot of games. There were 32 people in all. It was quite a trip! The waterfall was beautiful and it was nice to get to know some girls who are students at KU. I have already seen 2 of them at school a few times and talked with them briefly. More relationships :D. Pray that God will show me which students to really devote time with. Sometimes it can get overwhelming as there are so many people, but God always brings certain ones out to devote more time to and really pour into those relationships.
