Chillin

Since our last blog there really hasn't been any new activities. We came back from the second village on Thursday, and on Friday the only activity that we were responsible for was to teach English to the Jasper Kids and to the local town kids. We had to be on our toes a little bit because the missionaries who run the English lessons went back to Chiang Mai because there children were sick, so we had to think up curriculum for that evening. All in all the lessons went well. Yesterday (Saturday, there was nothing planned because Pastor JJ had to go pick up the new mission team from New Life Fellowship of Houston. So essentially from morning until 4 PM, us four hung out with the Jasper Kids. Young Kwang taught guitar, Daniel was taking pictures and chilling with the kids, and me and Esther taught body worship to some of the girls. Afterward, Daniel, Young Kwang, and I went into the boys' room and we found them all lying on the floor just sprawled out and chilling, and so we did the same. I could say we had some good male bonding even with the language barrier. Later in the day, we got to met the NLF team it was led by a guy named Tony and the other members of the team was a family of four. They seem to be cool people.

Sunday was more of the same. We had worship at the Jasper Kids, and let me say, I could see the love of God in their hearts when the worship, and its just very awesome to see. After worship, again we chilled with the kids. We threw around the football, some played badminton, soccer, etc. Again more time building relationships with the Jasper Kids.

Tomorrow, we'll be heading out to a village to do some VBS, but mostly teaching. Since the new team has come, our role has changed. We're no longer responsible for ministry, so now we are here to support the new team with their ministry, so whatever they ask we do. It'll be a little different, but I'm looking forward to working with fellow believers.

Please pray that we will continue to be submissive to God's will, to Pastor JJ, and also to the NLF team. Please pray for the village that we are going to, that God will open opportunities for Him to be known, and that we will be a blessing to Pastor JJ and Junya's ministry rather than a burden. Also pray for tomorrow's ministry, that everyone will be prepared b/c I don't think the NLF team knew that there was an emphasis on teaching English instead of doing VBS. Please pray for continued team unity.

I know the post was long, but thanks for enduring it. Sorry no new pictures, I guess I'll post some pics after we come back from tomorrow's ministry. O and also, we're getting eaten up by the mosquitos and fleas in Thailand. Man they're vicious...
