We dress up to teach but, since shoes aren't allowed beyond the lobby, we enjoy barefoot freedom. Many stories could be shared about teaching in Thailand but we're too busy creating them to write much.
I truly enjoy watching our team in action; always connecting, always caring, always smiling. It takes a great deal of patience to speak slowly, to correct grammar and pronunciation again and again and our team displays a great deal of maturity here. We are asked to spend time outside of class with our students and wonderful stories are being shared about God's work in those casual situations.
I don't hear complaints even though some begin teaching at 7 AM. A few of us have had health issues but we've received excellent care. Conditions are harder at the outlying campuses but our three away teams are troopers. It will be hard to say 'good-bye' to this marvelous school, church and cell groups but we're also beginning to long for home. Tonight's news of Minnesota snow may help us enjoy the tropics for a while longer.
Tonight's sermon challenged us to answer Christ's call to 'follow.' Pray that we'll be sensitive to God's voice in this land where spiritual warfare is very real.
