SOOO finally I have found time to sit down and blog about the past couple days! I want to first thank our WONDERFUL host, Sandy, who has been a mother to us! She has been so understanding to our adjusting, which has not been easy!
The food has been interesting! The fruit amazing!!!! It was tons of fun going to the market on Friday and picking up our own fruit and catching a Took-Took (taxi/motorcycle... picture to follow) home. That morning we had an awesome team time in city park, which is beautiful! We are going to try and go there in the morning as much as possible and do our devos!
We added another ESL class on Thursday and Friday. This one is at the Hope Center, and we are hoping to get more adults/teens. Thursdays class, we had 10 people! It was amazing! One of the guys, who works at the neighboring garage, was amazing! None of us expected it. It was encouraging to see everyone come back on Friday for class!
Thursday, we also went to the grocery store to grab some breakfast food. It is a mini mall! Its amazing, believe it or not we found a DQ and a KFC!!! Yah American food!! lol We also managed to find a pizza place, which we ate at 2 nights in a row! (so much for Thai food) lol But really the food has been great! A lot of rice and chicken though. My fav so far is the Pad Thai, the stuff we have at home just doesn't compare. It is SO good here! We had Burmese food on Sunday, which was also really good! The Burmese people had made us a meal after our English class.
The English classes have gone really well! It has been a real blessing to see the Thai people come back and gradually learning more and more. The relationships that we have been building give us such an opportunity to share the gospel. Sunday, we got an amazing idea from Louise to teach them English by teaching them a song. So we have used a worship song and we have written out the lyrics and we will be teaching all three of our classes the song! So not only will we be teaching English, but also about Jesus!!!!!!! WOOOO :) I have been really enjoying watching Cara, Bethany and Kiara teach. Each of them have such a gift of teaching and they are totally in their element in the classroom! I love it!!!
Saturday, Gun's son, Ton came to stay with us til Monday before his school starts on Wednesday. He was an amazing help in our Burmese English class on Sunday! We will definitely miss him when he leaves.
Today we are heading to the temple in town and we are meeting Dave and Louise at an outreach in the market tonight. If you could keep us in your prayers that would be FANTADII!!! :)
Lots of love from the other side of the world,
Sarah
ps. We are planning on updating daily with shorter posts :) Sorry again for taking SOOO long!!!
