All the days seem to run
together and the time just seems to be flying by. We have had a lot of fun
times since the last time and so I will do my best to try to cover them all.
The main thing we did since our last update was an English workshop. Six days of
getting to know about 70 kids. A team from Texas came and led the workshop while we
helped. It was a good time and made for a very tiring week. But we now have
about 15 guys that we know fairly well and have been able to contact and follow
up with. Everyone here enjoys getting coffee and smoothies so that is a
natural time to talk about anything and everything.
On Tuesday, the team from
Texas returned to the city in preparation for their return to the US. We went with them and
stopped along the way to visit a tourist area. We got to see rice paper being
made, eat fish eggs (really embryos), and ride in little boats that are very
much the Asian stereotype. It was a fun day learning more about the local culture.
On Wednesday, we were hanging
out with a friend, V, and were able to share the story with him. We got dinner
and then had smoothies. He is interested but still has
some things he is not sure of. Please remember V.
On Friday, we met with a
friend, E, and talked to him for about 3 hours sharing the story and answering lots of questions. We gave him a copy of the Book and met with him this morning to study together. He asked many questions and we were able to answer them. I don't think
he is interested in accepting right now but he just wants to learn more. Please remember E.
Those are some of the
highlights of the last few days. It has been a lot of fun and very tiring. It
can get frustrating and lonely but the work must go on. They must hear or they
will never know him. Please continue to remember us and what we are doing. Thank you
for all you are doing to lift us up.
