Thailand Journal 14 – Sept. 7

Wow! What a morning! Another great send-off at the elementary school. Thanks to Chokchai for capturing it with my camera. However, only those who have experienced it, can fully understand. Join us one year and taste and see! The send-off to begin the day included   giving Nuny her shirts; giving Elton’s little sponsoree the money he sent for him (which will go into his personal bank account at the school); giving loads of socks, and school supplies to the students; and receiving cowboy hats (it is cowboy country here). We also got lots of hugs, kisses, and tears

from each student. Barbie started the day with the devotional (while Brownie stood like king in the circle). On the farm we completed the pepper weeding, and got more goodies to eat. In the afternoon we visited the Nam Tok Chet Sao Noi National Park and waterfalls, which is very close to the public school where teach in the mornings. Beautiful scenery! While the van got washed, we walked through town to Van Coffee for the best Thai Tea and dessert. Had a good discussion with Mr. Ryan Keough, VP for Advancement regarding continuing, and expanding, the academic affiliation with WWU in the area of Engineering, and possibly others. For those who love my pics, we got some good ones today: https://www.flickr.com/photos/143715478@N06/albums/72157685560631054.
