A busy couple of months

This last couple of months have been kind of a blur. Eric has been coaching soccer (or U-16 football, as it's called at Grace), planning for the week-long middle school outdoor ed trip, and planning for Spiritual Emphasis Week. Ang has been remodeling a house for their landlord, taking Gabe to various appointments to fulfill the requirements for going to kindergarten and helping out some new members. All this in addition to the normal round of teaching 7th grade, going to the office, teaching preschool, learning Thai, helping with Sunday School, etc. We've also hosted Eric's dad and Walt (pictured above). I'd say this week has been the busiest so far. This week Eric attended special services and meetings before school and in the evening for Spiritual Emphasis Week, planned outreach trips for Spiritual Emphasis Week, planned logistics and classes for next-week's outdoor ed trip to Doi Inthanon, led the 7th grade in a simulation called "Feudal lords of Japan", and taught English after school in the slums. Ang has been less busy with planning a big party for an office employee, taking Gabe to the doctor for illness and gash on the head and working out details for the remodeling to be finished in her absence. It may seem crazy, but in some ways, it's fun and rewarding, especially since we know we will have a nice long break starting week after next during the Thai new year. I think we'll sleep a lot and look forward to a quieter last quarter of the school year.
