Our flight was uneventful, always a blessing. Our flight from Phuket left at 12:20PM on April 13, after spending some valuable time with Rob and Judy. We spent the 8 hours in Hong Kong airport walking around, buying the kids a book each, playing Settler's of Catan on the floor, eating supper and trying to get some sleep. While it eluded us in the airport, w... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=476907&go=thaiteachers Sun, 13 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=472432&go=thaiteachers So, our last few days of teaching are over. Jason managed to get in a water fight with the boys in his class and much to their delight, Jason got soaked as well AND they weren't expelled from school, as they would be in Canada.

My class worked hard but I gave them all a pack of Hershey kisses with an attached poem c... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=472432&go=thaiteachers Tue, 8 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=471056&go=thaiteachers Had a great experience with Lily, my laundry lady. I've made a real connection with her over the last week in particular. God has given me the Thai I need, some of it just little phrases that team members and Pastor Sandra have taught me. Then, today I was able to share the gospel with her through giving her a Jesus video and telling her that it was the story of Jesus, my friend.

There are no Easter bunnies, chicks, chocolate, baskets, etc. I don't mind that.

No, okay, we'll divide the two. Friday evening our family went to the Thai cultural center here in Phuket. Online it looked like an amazing place and well worth going to see. It was interesting but we wouldn't recommend it to others.

That was a lot of fun and a great little course with volcanoes, waterfalls, and a different dinosaur at every hole. Riley beat me by 2 strokes in the first half but I was able to pull it out in the second half. Jason won, of course.

I issued a challenge to the class to read 60 books, or 20 each, in a month for our "I Love to Read" month in February. The boys accomplished the goal in 3 weeks.
