After practically living at school for two weeks, this week was great. Remember the student reports I mentioned? Let's just say they took a long time to write. And if you ever have to grade 3 exams per student for 86 students, don't wait until the weekend before the grades are due to grade them. Not a good idea--never do it!

I was able to teach an after school class this semester and one of the students really caught on when I prayed at the start of class. He would try to anticipate what I was going to say, so I asked if he wanted to pray. He prayed most of the same things I usually pray and I thought he was only mimicking me. One day, however, it was another student's birthday. The first boy prayed that day and he asked God to help the other student have a good birthday and he prayed some other things that are not the same as what I usually pray. I was surprised. I pray that the prayers he prays will mean something to him someday, even if they do not mean anything to him now.

Today I was able to go to a park with my cell group. It was great to be surrounded by green instead of the pollution of the city. We relaxed together and then took some time to talk to people in the park about the Lord. We gave them Gospel tracts as well to help them understand what we were talking about. I pray that we are able to follow through with our plan to go every month. We had one non-believer with us and we were able to share the Lord with her as well. Khap Khun Pra-jow! (Thank you Lord!)

I am excited to have a 3 week break from school starting in one week. Please pray for me as I will be leading songs and games at an English camp with Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA)October 6-8. I am excited to be able to help and to share God's love with children ages 8-12.
