English Camp Staffers
Today I went in to The Promise Baptist Church and observed/helped with English Camp. Afterward, as usual, we had lunch together. It was quite a spread and included "khao niaw mamuang" for dessert. I think that has got to be my favorite dessert in Thailand, though their coconut milk ice cream rates right up there too.
At any rate, khao niaw mamuang is sweetened sticky rice with sweetened coconut milk poured on top and then eaten with fresh papaya. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! Sometime I'll have to post a picture of that.
This picture shows the English camp staff plus one of the pastors, his mother, and the church secretary.

The international staff: 2 from Indonesia/Papua New Guinea, 1 from Australia, 2 from Thailand, and 1 from America

I was just beginning to get to know this energetic, funloving, gal, and now she is already returning to Indonesia to be involved with training leaders for missions.

We--that would be SIX of us--ladies took a taxi from the church to return home. I've been in more crowded taxis, so this felt doable though definitely full!:)
2 in the front seat...

...and 4 in the back.

PS....asking for prayers as I prepare to teach my first English class this coming Saturday from 10-12 noon. I'm excited but very nervous. Thanks!
