extra guest for dinner

Being a missionary seems to always be an adventure in one way or another.  There are definitely a few adventures that are unplanned and this is one of them!  I was so excited to see monkeys off  on the distant rocks while we sat at a beach-side restaurant, but then this guy walked right up to us and sat down in front of the camera like he knew we wanted pictures with him.

Before and After

We went out for a meal with our friend Dtoi a few weeks ago...here's a look at some of the cuisine we had:

English is fun!

So I (Kiki) spent last weekend volunteering at an English camp for teachers at Mahachai school. This school and its teachers are really encouraging because they are all Christians who love the chance to teach children about God. Their stories of long devotion to this school (some over 30 years) were extremely encouraging. I asked one of the teachers why she has stayed at the same job for nearly 30 years. Her response was "Because I love God."

It was also encouraging to watch professional teachers become students (of English) and really grow over the weekend. They improved their English, but they also gained confidence and practiced the ability to laugh at oneself.

Here are some pics from the weekend.
