Missions Seminar

Hello to you all. I hope this finds you well. It is still rainy season in Thailand and so the weather is still hot and muggy, however soon, we will be entering the "cool" season.

Arm has been VERY busy lately. Every Saturday (starting last Saturday and ending on October 3) from 8:30-4pm our church has been holding a missions seminar for our church members. They talk about missions around the world and teach how to do ministry. Arm has something to present every week, so he doesn't get as much time to rest, but the people at church really seem to be enjoying it, so it is a beneficial thing.

My teaching is going well and this term is almost over. This next week is the last week of teaching and then finals week is after that. My students are making me feel very special as now they know that I am leaving by saying they will miss me because I am a teacher and also a friend, rather than only a teacher. I just pray that they will remember I'm a Christian (as I tell all of my students on the first day of classes) and that God will use it in their lives later. Praise God that many of my students were able to get past the "teacher" status and see me as me. It is truly difficult for students to do, but thankfully, God allowed it. Pray for next term as well. I will be teaching a new group of about 200 students total and I will be teaching all listening and speaking classes. During this term, because of Thanksgiving and Christmas, I show the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and Christmas movies as listening activities in my listening and speaking classes. I can bring them in class as a "cultural lesson" and I chose these because they have Scripture in them. I would really appreciate you to start praying for my students and these movies now. Thank you so much.

Last Sunday night, Arm and I went out to eat with a teacher at KU. We had a lot of fun and she took us to a really nice restaurant. Below are some pictures from that night.
