Games with Mahatthai Children and Coffee House!

Today I met the team from Wisconsin. We are so blessed to have them here. These next couple weeks are going to be full of activities and service in areas where we normally may not be able to get to on a weekly basis. Together we worked hard preparing and planning for the evening events. Then at 5:00pm I went with half the team to Mahatthai. We were able to rent out a covered game area for our kid games. Doris and Shantelle (see their pic above) from Wisconsin were the game planners and they had many games set up for the children. We had about 35 children at the game night. We split them into four teams (the monkeys, tigers, fish, and elephants). After an hour and a half of games, we fed the children dinner and took them back home by 8:00p.m. Then we joined the rest of the team at the coffee house (which was held at the church). The coffee house is for our campus ministry. When we arrived, we walked right into a large energetic party. There were snacks/coffee/tea, songs performed, games played, announcements of upcoming events with the club, and dances performed. The videos at the bottom share a Thai dance, a guitar song, and Julie and I's fun performance/get others involved dance. Today, seemed like it as a hit. People for each of the events seemed to feel at home with us and at the events. By the end of the night, we even had our own dancing after party. That is how energizing this day was. Now that I am home, posting this blog...my energy is wearing thin and I am ready for a good night's sleep. Please pray for our team from Wisconsin as they are feeling the sleep deprivation. Pray that we all will get a restful night's sleep. Tomorrow will be a busy day. We have a team prayer meeting at 9:00am. Kid's camp again-starting at 10:00am on the same field we used today. Then we will feed the children and then take them to "Leo Land" (a water park) for the entire afternoon. This is something they never get to do. Pray for God's hands of protection over the children for the entire day. Pray there will be safe traveling, no injuries, and no child lost in the course of the day. Pray for our energy to be as it was today as well. Thank You so Much!!!
