Day in a Life of a Missionary

This morning went with my son to the Pattamasaevi (ปัทมะเสวี) Mini Summer Camp to teach English for an hour. Taught Colin Buchanan’s song “Remember the Lord” with the message that God is always watching and working for the good of his children. It’s a very “Aussie” song with lines like “miss your breaky” and “busted for something you didn’t do”, “dad is crusty and your mum’s in a flack”. Anyone wanna “av a go” at trying to explain “your mum’s in a flack”?

After English teaching went home to drop off my son and then went around town to do some jobs. Stopped off in front of the post office for lunch and ate this great noodle and dumpling soup for all of 35 baht (just over AU$1. Would have been 30 but I asked for the “special” - which means you get a bit more than normal, much more than the extra 5 baht you pay). Add a bit of dried chilli and fish sauce ... yuumm.

Collected the mail and then back home to prepare for tomorrow’s lesson.

Prayer night at our house tonight.

Funny Kids

Our kids are a handful some of the time (no most of the time). It is the long summer break now so they won’t go back to school until mid May. It’s not all fun and games though as they are catching up on homeschooling during the holidays. Our middle son will change schools for the third time. The last school he watched a bit too much T.V for our liking and he was in an international program so not picking up as much Thai as we would like.

Meal at Phii Jee's

Our Lighthouse team and some other English students at a lovely dinner at Phii Jee’s (front row 3rd from right) house on Monday. We had a great time with lots of food, eating and chatting.

Unfortunately, our daughter vomited up most of her lunch just as we were getting ready to go so she and Lisa couldn’t make it.
