Scott and Anna McPherson-it was a beautiful wedding

I like it.

My favorite pics from the ocean in October.

Happy Birthday little Rachel. It's a privlege to be your teacher this year.

I may not have wierd friends, but they do have some wierd pets.

....but I'm not on the the couch. See, my feet are on the floor!

I finally figured out how to change my wallpaper to something fun and how to add a playlist. It's a funny list of things I could think of that I liked at the moment. Enjoy!

Out at the camp in September?

My brother and me!

Tim and me on his 50th birthday.

Monty, Jackie and the girls. Hailey, Natalie, and Rachel

Cara came and to photograpgh a wedding and took some pics of us too.

I think it's high time I updated my blog. I feel like I've been gone from Thailand for a very long time. This is a picture of the front of my classroom. I have 16 students; eight boys and eight girls. It's a little overwhelming to say the least. I had nine girls and 7 boys, but one girl left and was replaced with a boy.

Saturday I went with Tim and Jahnet to Khon Kaen. We spent the afternoon with a couple in the church, Kurt and Pbouy and then went down to the pool in their development where Tim baptized Pbuoy. We had a really nice time with them in their home Pbouy made Gwaytheow (thai noodle soup) for us and it was really good.

I came out to my car to go to dinner this afternoon and was fascinated to see that a spider had built this beautiful web during the night and day. It was perfect and beautiful especially with the late afternoon sun rays shining through it. It was attached to the truck as well and I was sad to have to leave and destroy all that hard work. It was so perfect. I mean I'd be willing to bet that it you were able to measure it somehow you'd find the spaces were all even.

I gave Don my number 82 shirt cause I didn't want people reading me. He enjoys wearing it around the house.

My friend Raht and one of the best friends I've ever had. I'm so going to miss her.

Happy Birthday Lydia! Here with Fawng. This is Dragon fruit. It comes in pink and white and pink is the best, but then isn't everything better in pink?

Lydia loves brownies so I made some for her birthday. They're yummy!

I was invited to dinner at the Luelai's. It's Lydia's 15th birthday and a special last dinner with them for me. Raht made many of my favorite dishes. We had Panang (a pork and eggplant coconut stew) another pork and cucumber stirfry and fried fish. It was all great and I got stuffed.

Jahnet took Raht, Lydia, the girls, and me to NongKhai today so that I could do my last 90 day check-in. Then we went over to the river market and did bit of shopping. After that we went to KFC at the mall. It was a really nice, fun day.

We were using the timer on the camera, but it started to fall into the glass I had set it on and then it went off. Raht is trying to catch it here. I was funny.

My class last night. I took one more shot at teaching them truth. I split them into teams and asked questions. I asked team 1. "How many ways are there to get to heaven?" They all lifted two fingers and shouted, "Two!" Hmmm! One girl on team 2 said there's only one way. So then I say, "How do we know?" They answer, "You can read it in the Bible." I ask, "Where?" The answer is John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." They can quote it and I'm sure God will use the little seed to work in their lives when He's ready.

Lydia with their little dog Lucy. I published Lucy before when she was itsy bitsy. She's not a lot bigger now and she's a sweety. Lydia will be 15 in a couple of days.

Lydia, Raht and Don

I went over to Don's church for one last service and took this picture. From left to right is Don, Em, Chian, Coke, Lek, Yoke, Thok, Lydia, Fawng. These kids have been coming a long time and I'm glad to see they are all still coming. They gave me some nice good-bye cards. I gave Raht a whole stack of cards left from what Jessi gave me when she left and two of the cards I got from them were out of those, but the funny part is that two of them were cards for weddings. I was like Woo hoo! They didn't know they had chosen wedding cards though.

Tonight Jahnet and I went to dinner at a place by the park with some of the teachers from the highschool; Noke, Mayuru, and Laaied. We had a nice time and great food! Laaied remembered that I like a certain kind of fish and ordered it special for me. It was a my "Going away dinner" and they gave me gifts too. It was sweet of them and I appreciate it.
