The Packers WON at 6:30 AM (Thailand Time) and "Fun with English Started"

Yes . . . it is a long day when you get up at 3:15 AM to watch the Packers game streamed in.  We have come to greatly appreciate Thailand's advanced use of technology.  We love that we have been so connected by wifi, skype phone calling, streaming, and googling EVERYTHING that we don't know what it is.  Our resident expert is Brian . . . have itouch, have info.  Mary has become addicted to Kay's ipad.  Sometimes we wonder who has it more.  Even Tony has figured out how to get his email!

So today was our first day of "Fun With English" workshop.  We started off with Mary get to know you games.   We introducing ourselves with knicknames.  Everyone here has one.  Mary Moose, Alexander Apple, Judi Jellybean, Kay Kids, Kathy Kangaroo, Dave Dad, Bob Bananna, Tony Toast, Gale Garden, Sandy Shrimp, Brian Baseball, Dwayne Dairy Queen, Ann Angel, Jim Jesus and Joann Jump rope.  Everyone was talking with in minutes.  And to think they wondered if BLC could have fun?  Then Dave led a session on Sports.  We all learned how to Mauy Thai Box and Elephant Polo.  We learned the Thai people are very competitive.   Dave challenged us to an intense ping pong game.  We also loved Dave leading us in song throughout the day.  We had mixed Christian campfire songs with motion songs.  After another amazing Thai lunch Ann led a session in animals and habitats.  She read a book about
"actual size" of animals which caused a scurrying of googling.  But the hit was the "telephone game"!   To help people repeat phases, teams had to pass on a message.  Strangely the message changed from the beginning to the end of the line of people.  

We also had  chance to tour Lutheran Hour Ministries Center.  What an amazing production studio to proclaim the Gospel.  

Overall we had many opportunities to share the love of Jesus.  "Seek Ye First" has a new meaning to us after seeing people who may not know Jesus singing it.  We have had many Godsightings each day that we share at evening devotions and debrief.

We ask for your prayers for continued safety and health.   Praise God!
