New Friends

Today was exciting. I spend it with a group of lovely ladies from New Zealand. They are here on a missions trip and are in Nang Rong for the week. I went with them to a school to teach some English. There are 7 girls; Charlie, Ashley, Hannah, Dibby, Rosie, Cherry, and Eylse.

We paired up and each went to four, one hour classes. I was paired with Rosie and Eylse. We started off with a game where the kids had to find New Zealand and American on a blow up globe. Roise and Eylse taught the kids about all the interesting facts about New Zealand. I learned quite a bit myself! I talked a bit about America and Texas before we moved onto family. We each told the kids about how many people are in our family, how many brothers and sisters we have. Then we asked the kids about their family. It was a lot of fun. I had not been in a Thai classroom before.

'Find New Zealand'

'New what?!' 


At the top right of this picture you can see my very poor attempt at a drawing of the U.S. 

After we finished at the school we went to the supermarket and then back to the church. P Ui picked me up for my English lesson with the Foundation girls. I was going to get a picture with the New Zealand girls, but we were all so sticky and sweaty I decided not to even ask (by this point I probably wouldn't have taken a picture, not even for a massive amount of money). But hopefully I will get to see the girls again. Sunday at church for sure. But they might come to the house on Friday or Saturday to participate in my activities with the girls.

Sorry for the pretty cut and dry post. I am exhausted. The last few days have been jam packed and I've been getting to sleep rather late and have to be up early.
