Thailand Journal 9 – Sept. 2

We have been here for a week! The team is one of the best! We continued on the farm constructing the dragon fruit poles, and improvising to make the tops. Fun! The teachers at the school continued to have a great time showing love and getting a whole lot in return. On Monday the whole team will be with the school on a planting-trees outing. They will be using slingshots to plant the seeds. Today the students were putting the seeds into little clay balls. Looking forward to an exciting adventure on Monday. This afternoon Devyn and Libby joined the nursing community students in de-licing students in one of the nearby public schools. When Fred is with us and there is a significant number of WWU nursing students, we team up with the AIU School of Nursing on a Community Health project for two weeks. In the afternoon the rest of us made our weekly shopping trip to Tesco Lotus, and then to the fancy and expensive Premium Outlet Mall, where things are even more expensive than in the States. Dinner was at the Blue Restaurant. Ended the day at Vespers. PS. Note that “Brownie” the dog always worships with us; and the van got its bath in preparation for the Sabbath!
