Update, please pray for schools

Friday service went great! Last week we had 3 children come, and the number doubled to 6, praise God! We played bingo but the genius I am forgot to make the bingo cards different so everyone won... :) its ok Mie pen rai Ka (means its ok, let it go) we ended up playing duck duck goose which they LOVE. Plus, I made different bingo cards for english class on sunday for the older kids and it went a lot better. Oh and we went to the Buddhist temple for orientation on sunday and we will be teaching english for an hour from 3 30 to 4 30 every sunday, in a literal temple! God is amazing!

Some of the kids that go to our sunday service also go to the temple ( we saw some of our kids there that afternoon), so that gives you an idea lack of strength Christianity has here. Basically the kids come on sunday because we teach english, but hopefully they will one day believe and accept the truth of the gospel.

Im learning more about the thai culture and their buddhist beliefs. Their Buddhist culture has changed drastically! Thailand was once known as one of the most pure forms of Buddhist religion, however now they are changing to more of a Korean type of buddhism where they also believe and fear ghosts. So, Thai Buddhists choose to believe in anything that would benefit them, so some Thai's will go to church and the temple, a win win situation for them. So, please pray for a true change in the children we teach on sundays.


Plus, DONNA IS HERE!!!! yay, Im so happy :) We visited three schools yesterday and received permission to teach in two of them. WE are still praying for the Ban Sankampieng school, which would be a strategic location to teach at for when we bring our team in a month or so. Please pray for that, we will be meeting with the new principle next week. Oh and Donna and I will be officially teaching at a public school on thursday and friday of next week! Please pray for us!


We miss you guys so much!!!!!!! I love you i love you :)

Bye!
