Rice Grains

This morning I taught my last English class at The Promise Baptist Church. Afterwards, we had a potluck meal; we had waaaaaaay more than enough food. The highlight of the meal for me were the kabobs that they grilled on a little charcoal grill. Yummm! It reminded me of a cookout back home!

Here are the six gals who received a certificate; Noom, the pastor, is also on the picture, as well as Gaew's little girl (and me:).

After handing out the certificates, Lee and Pastor Noom presented me with a gift. It is BEAUTIFUL! It is a type of porcelain known as "benjarong", which means "5 colors", including gold. The writing inside my box says 18 Karat gold is used on this particular piece of pottery. I also just read that painting this type of pottery is extremely time-consuming, as the piece is kiln-dried after application of each color.
