Today, when we arrived, I discovered that they had formed a new group for young adults in the church to also receive English instruction. That's good stuff, that is!
Like I said, kids are kids, whether Ja Rurat or Soi 107 or Liberty, Missouri.
Forming sentences with new vocabulary words.
That's just a cool sight.
Best part of the day is always the same. After the kids are gone, we break bread together. Well, OK, we have rice and Som Tum (papaya salad) and whatever the ladies bring back from the market. When the dishes are cleaned, there's a time of just relaxing together and spending some time in prayer and worship and just enjoying being together. There's something so hard to explain about sitting in the open air, singing Heart of Worship or Here I am to Worship, with voices singing out in both English and Thai and knowing that the miles and cultural differences are all bridged by a common love for Jesus and for his church. These few moments are always the brightest, most energizing point of each week for me.
