Soft Heart, Hard Feet
When one of our missionary leaders explained the phrase “Soft feet, hard heart; hard feet, soft heart” I knew it was significant.
I Was in Prison and You Visited Me ::: InterChange Update
An aspect of the week that has been stretching has been exposure to two different refugee situations. We went to the community where the Montagnard people, refugees from Vietnam, are gathered. Several hundred live in Bangkok, having fled both religious and economic persecution from the government over the past decade.
Stories from Thailand
Doughnuts, jackfruit, mango, banana, and sticky rice were the spoils of yesterdays morning’s trip to the market, making for a slightly unbalanced but tasty breakfast! Our day was quite the adventure as we tried to learn the ropes of buying and finding things in a local market. We have also gotten to explore some areas of Bangkok and experience some different modes of transportation.
Thailand ::: Student Perspectives
Thank you so much for the prayers. These past few days have consisted of prepping, teaching, and eating, but there are some highlights within that. Our first day of teaching was interesting because we really did not know what to expect. How much English did the kids know? How big was the class size? God really helped us out in teaching the kids and it was overall a good experience.
Thoughts from Thailand
The drive to the mountain village was beautiful, with intense greenery and rolling hills. After experiencing the colours, noise and extremes of the city, I liked seeing rural Thailand, too. Many kids are taken care of by grandparents, since their parents have gone to Bangkok to work, and they struggle with restlessness and addiction. Farming is difficult and not very profitable, especially for the elderly.
