I am in want of a clever title...

It's not for want of time that I have not posted... I just always dread writing things like this. I started teaching on Tuesday and I'm starting to realize how little I know about english grammar and the reason that things are the way they are. Which furthers the anxiety of writing a blog.... but I'll press on.
I've been learning to adapt to my life here in Thailand. The beginning has had its up and downs. The first few days before teaching (and even now) were somewhat lonely. But God has blessed and provided when I needed a pick me up. For example:
1. My first Saturday I was here, I was worried about what I would do all day in a strange town, in a foreign country since none of the married people seemed to take an interest in fellowshipping with me. My prayers were answered when the wife of the New Zealand couple took me under her wing and invited me and another guy here out with her husband for a tour of town, a movie and a later dinner. We had WONDERFUL conversation and a great time!! I was truly blessed by them!!!
2. On Monday after a particularly lonely day on Sunday I was able to finally meet up with Poy and Tukta, the thai girls I had been e-mailing with. I spent most of the day on monday with both of them and Tukta's mother. I ate a TON of food (Including a part of a pig that SHOULD NEVER BE EATEN... I'm almost "vommed"), saw some temples and talked alot! I really had a great time getting to know them. We seemed to mesh really well together even talking about boys on the first day that we met (if you're a girl you know this a bonding thing). I hope that I can hang out with them more in the future and talk with them about my faith! They're both pretty busy girls so we will see!

This week I started teaching. It has gone pretty well. The students seem shy but I hope that they will start to warm up to me and want to hang out outside of class. I was impressed with most of the classes' responsiveness. I am finding that the program we use to teach is fairly easy to follow, but I still worry if I am getting through to them and if they are learning or not. We shall see!! Sorry for the lack of detail... I will try to write more regularly so that I can talk more indepthly about Thailand!! As far as pictures go, I have made many attempts at posting on facebook without success. I will keep trying though! Love you all!
