Last Saturday night Darren and I took the children and Mariam(my Iranian friend) to night bazaar. It's the evening market here, and you can find just about anything there. This lady (above) is carving and painting soap. She is VERY good at it, as you can see. There were some tribal ladies who followed us around TRYING and TRYING to get us to buy carved wooden frogs that croak when you rub their backs with a stick. They could tell that John was very fascinated with the frogs so that egged them on to keep trying.
There were all kinds of these lights! I thought they were kind of pretty!
Almost every day it DUMPS down the rain here! You would have to see it to understand. Just step outside and you are drenched to the skin. The streets can run like streams at times.
We took student pictures for the year book at the park, and John had a lot of fun playing in the fountain and riding back to IGo on the motorcycle with Lavonn, the guys dean.
Saturday breakfast and supper are American food time. Some of the students really look forward to it for that reason. For supper tonight we had meatball sandwiches, chips, broccoli cauliflower salad, brownies and ice cream.
This is Airport Plaza. It's a huge mall. One of the girls took me out to a coffee shop there tonight. It's almost like being in America!
We finished first term testing yesterday. Now we have three days till we leave for ministry trips. Darren and I are going to a remote tribal area in Northern Thailand. I'm not sure if the people are Lisu or Karen, but I think it's one of the two. We will be buy ourselves as the rest of the students are going to China and Burma. We decided to take our trips in Thailand, just in case God works it out for us to save enough money to stay a second term.
