Thailand week 2

Day 8 – nothing much happened during the day. But we met up some people that we did not get contacts from previously. Glad that they remembered us. Once again we went back to the shop and got some more contacts that we had missed out. While on the way back to complex we heard some shouting and so we went to check it out. Found out it was jon and chang yao teaching a class chinese lesson. Ironic thing is that my buddy and I who prepared the materials have not started teaching anyone yet. Got a video clip of them singing a chinese song. Back at the complex, we spoke to another group of contacts and they seemed willing to contact us again. Thank God coz the day started quite slowly for us. We taught P’daw to play Uno and the word search. And we got a chartered song tiao back to the hotel. He agreed to come pick us up tomorrow as well sparing us the time walking to the bus stop. During team meeting we had 2 points to share about – summary and memorable issues. Nothing much to write for now. Till tomorrow.

Day 9 – worship and devotion then our “chartered Song Tiao” fetched us to the school. We dropped at the student union area where our games day will be held. The open field is not as big as expected but we pray that it will be enough for God’s work to be done. We were waiting for our contacts to reply but no one did. So we decided to buy lunch and just as we were about to order food. One of our contacts called to meet us for lunch. It’s the one who brought my ministry buddy to the lake on sat. Thankful that he wanted to meet us again despite he knowing we are Christians. Turned out they will be free on Friday and they want to have ice-cream with us. Another thing while we were having lunch. Another contact called to arrange an appointment for chinese lessons tomorrow morning. Really thank God for these appointments. Also, we got 4 people confirmed going for dinner at the american’s place tomorrow night. An empty afternoon turned out completely unexpected. We left earlier via our chartered song tiao coz of the team meeting as some staff would be joining us. Just finished the team meeting. P’mint and P’daw shared their testimony and I feel encouraged by them. Makes me think if teaching is where I should be. Thank God for this day.

Day 10 – found out the replay for the football game is at 7am. Today we were preparing for our first eng lesson. Unexpectedly we shared our 4SL with them too. The class ended early and we had the time to play Uno. Had this girl who came up to me to say hi and I had no idea who she was. Met up some friends at 7-11 before heading to Christ and Misty’s home. I was quite surprised with the number of people who turned out – more than what we expected. Thank God for that. Got to know some international students as well. We sang “because he lives” during the dinner. Thank God for answering our prayers.

Day 11 – it was a day to look forward to. Outing with contacts outside school. Met them at 11 am did nothing till 12 for lunch and nothing till 1. In the end we went for ktv. But it’s all Thai songs. Took some pictures of how the place looks like. Also had an experience of riding a bike in Thailand. Interesting feeling. Quite scary as well. Prepared for the games tomorrow as well. I’m the game master for dodge ball. Pray that I can explain the rules to them as well. And I got to use the contact lens as well. Argh! We practiced the song as well. Can ask me for the video clip if you are interested.
