Good morning from the porch of Suradet and Yupa's home. Finally, a chance to blog, both the internet connections and the time being available at the same time :).
It was fabulous to wake up to a fresh morning. Last night was our first full night's sleep since leaving Canada, and it felt good. We're all doing well, grateful for cooler mornings (23C as I write), knowing that it will heat up substantially by supper time. Jet lag doesn't really hit hard until sometime after lunch, and by then we will back and able to rest and stay away from the heat.
What an amazing welcome we have received. There's such a spirit of joy and excitement here at Hot Springs. Suradet and Yupa are well, relaxed and happy. They are talking about their time in Canada a lot, and with great fondness.
In a few moments we will head over the school to set up for Day Camp. Yesterday we had the chance to go see the room and scope out the set up. Also met the principal. He told me they have no English teacher at this school and was delighted that our team would come. He's already asked us back for next year!
While we were there, some of the kindergarten children couldn't help their curiosity at seeing farangs for the first time. They smiled and waved at us, and their teacher invited us to come right into the classroom. A spontaneous English 'lesson' just sort of happened, with "Head and Shoulders" and "Lion Hunt". So much fun. It occurred to me that anyone with the inclination and resources could come and teach ESL to these kids so easily. The world is so full of opportunities to bring hope and joy.
So here goes. First day of Day Camp. Let's see what God unfolds for us.
Thanks for your patience. We will try to send as many posts as possible. Hopefully we can get internet set up at our guest house, which will help.
Sawat di, ka.
