Day 12+13: Goodmoning Teachaaaa

 We spent the past two days teaching English in a very wealthy Buddhist private school, on the outskirts of Chachoengsao. Every class greeted us by standing and reciting “Goodmoning Teacha” and as soon as dismissed, would repeat “Sank-you Teacha”. This time we were split into four classrooms for four periods of teaching. Their English was slightly better than the previous school, so we had to up the anti with sentence structure exercises, word scrambles and an un-translated story (bible story hehe). However this time we got some heat from one of the senior teachers about the subject material, yet by the grace of God we were allowed to continue teaching. It was a lot of fun and we once again advertised our English camp in hopes of more attendees. Following our first day of teaching at the new school, half of us went to Dave and Louise’s to create an outline for the English camp, while the other half visited missionaries Edd and Ingrid to lead more children’s ministry activities. Later that evening we gathered together for a larger cell group at one of the local’s houses. Two Thai women shared their inspiring testimonies and we followed with some incredible Thai/English worship where God’s presence was undeniable. We ended the night with spicy, fire breathing-worthy Thai food. It was one of the most memorable nights by far. The second of the two nights we followed our English lessons by hosting a youth night at the “Hope Centre”, spending time doing crafts, games and worship with the kids. Just as we got home from our night of fun it suddenly began to pour… hard. Because we don’t have proper windows, a lot of water filled the mezzanines and stairways causing a few wipeouts. For the past few nights it always seems to rain just as we get home, providing a peaceful lullaby and a cool breeze for a more comfortable sleep.
