Today was just an amazing day, so I have to write another post. I had a great day teaching with the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders, and they were really cool when they heard it was my last day, and seemed honestly bummed that I wouldn't be back for a while...they wanted my phone number and email so they could keep in touch. Of course, they're elementary kids, so who knows, but there might be some time on translation websites in my future to keep up with them! :) To think that a couple months ago I was down on this teaching job is just an amazing thing to me, but God has kicked my butt again. I will miss those kids a lot, and if I do come back I'll know more Thai so I can really communicate.
Tonight, a lot of my Mae Sot/Compasio family met at the Jungle Restaurant for a sendoff of sorts...I hadn't been to this restaurant before and it's a really neat atmosphere of trees, rocks, waterfalls, and lilly pads. Even the bathrooms are pretty sweet and unique! It was fantastic, and I was touched by how many people turned out. I truly have a home here, with wonderful people and amazing work. I knew it would be so, but it's going to be very hard to leave in three days. There's a lot going on - Christmas parties to come for the school, Safe House, Baby House, and Dump Community, plus a party at the Thai church where some of our kids will sing. Somewhere in there I need to think about packing!
Please pray with me that despite the hectic schedule, I do right by all the people here in my last few days, that I spend time where I need to and say goodbye well. This has been an amazing experience for me, and I sincerely thank you for your support!
In Him,
adam
