Today marks the start of our second week of teaching at Jianghua Vocational High School. We could not be more blessed with the outpour of love from the school! Rain poured non-stop and all day long. In the morning we would typically ride our bikes to get to the school but God is so good to us and right as we were leaving, we saw a van coming up to our driveway that the school sent to pick us up. Once we arrived at the school, we were all excited to start a new week with new teaching plans and plans to share the gospel with our peoon (Thai for friend) we made last week. Shortly after adding a few students on Facebook during lunchtime I was surprised to catch them staring at a photo from my baptism. They were really curious to know what was happening and asked me to explain it to them, so I told them that I was a Christian and despite the language barrier I tried my best to explain what baptism is. Even though I did not get a chance to share the gospel with them I felt very blessed by this moment because they knew that I was a Christian and why we are here in Thailand. They responded in a very respectful and understanding tone, which uplifted my spirits because I did not know how my friends, who were either Catholic or Buddhist, would react to me being different from them. I hope to share the gospel with them soon because they are very dear to my heart! Besides that, our day was pretty calm and filled with a lot of relaxation from our long weekend. I am so amazed how God's timing works and I am very thankful that God has given us a day to rejuvenate. Please continue to keep us in your prayers!!!!
