English in Ubon

This is my best friend Ket. She was my roommate last year and then she became the Pastor of a church plant in Ubon. We got to spend 10 days together while I was teaching English and it was so much fun to be with her again! We are great friends!
















These are the faces of some of my students! They are so cute! Ying, me, Yao, and Bee! I had a class of 5 students and these 3 were the most faithful and came to every class.















We studied many things together and one thing was pronunciation. Many of them have studied English for a long time but a Thai teacher has taught them so their grammar is great but their pronunciation needs some work! My students improved in their confidence to speak English! That was the goal!! Kim this pic is for you!















The last day of class we had a party and all my students came to Ket's house and we ate together! This is a pic of all the girls together! It was such a fun 10 days with these students! Look at their smiles! They were great students!!















This is a picture of our dinner together! Sean came and joined us for the last day of class and one free day in Ubon. We had a great time in Ubon together! It is one of my favorite places in all of Thailand! It is a beautiful place! I will miss it, I actually already do!!

Making Cookies

Making cookies is one thing I am known for here in Thailand! Every Saturday I teach kids English for one hour. This week I decided to teach them how to make cookies! They LOVED it!!! being a math teacher we talked about the difference in measuring in Thailand and America. It was a fun time and the kids got to taste what they made! Everyone had a great time!!

Pat and Bew are mixing their dough! They had fun with the flour! Of course it got everywhere!





Here I am teaching them about the different ingredients and utensils used in making cookies! It was so much fun to have them so excited about making cookies!


Warm chocolate chip cookies! What better taste could be in the mouth! The kids all loved the cookies and they made some to take home too! What a wonderful day!!

New Years in the South

Tai Church staff members got 5 days off this year for New Years! It was great! Sean and I joined my favorite family in Thailand, James' family, in the adventure of the year! We went 9 adults, 3 kids, 1 baby, and a dog, in a van for 12 hours both ways. It was so much fun! We had such a great time together! Above are some fun pics of that time. This family is so special to me! James has worked at the church since it opened and his family has taken care of me in so many ways! They have welcomed Sean with open arms and they are a blessing to me!
