So I am sorry I have not been writting faithfully but please do not worry. Everything is great! I have been so busy with writting lesson plans and creating tests and quizes that by the end of the day all I want to do is sleep or hang out with my group and relax.

My class is doing okay. We had a few problems with attitudes and lack of sleep on both our parts but I know it will all be okay. Last Saturday I got to ride an elephant and sit in its tusks. It was a lot of fun. I also got my picture taken with a live tiger! It was chained up but still a little scary. It only cost $2.50 which is not bad. On Sunday we had a church service for the students at which time I gave my testimony. I pray that it touched someones life a bit.

Then this past Wednessday we had another service and we could really feel the Holy Spirit working. We have not had any students come forward yet to say they have recieved Christ as their savior but I know God is working in their hearts. I have been able to share the gospel a few times through different Bible verses they are memorizing. Although this has been a tough week and a half I am learning a lot about myself and what God can do through me. I continue to thank you all for your prayers. My health has been good except for a couple days this week when I had a really upset stomach. I am getting to know the city more and more and feel almost normal here....except for the fact that I am very pale with blond hair and blue eyes which is exactly opposite of the Thai people.

So we have eaten a lot of different things. We have squid quite a bit which isn't too bad. I actually ate a small one whole with the tentacles and everything. It was rather bland but had a weird texture. But the weirdest thing I can think of is that we have had hot dogs for breakfast on more than one occasion but the kids don't seem to mind...go figure. I'm sure we will be experiencing more strange things soon! We do eat a lot of spicy things which I am getting used to. We also have rice or noodles with every meal.

Tomorrow we are going to an ammusment park with kids. Please pray for our safety and that we will have a great time. Our patience is running thing with some of the kids because of behavior and attitude issues but I haven't given up on them. I know they can improve if we give them a chance.
