Our first week of teaching is now over and we've survived just fine. Most of the team discovered they actually like teaching in spite of any misconceptions they had about it ahead of time. The curriculum here at Santisuk has been tried and tested over the years, so it's quite easy to walk into the classroom and follow the instructions. Ana and Koob have had few problems communicating with their Level 1 students; Amy N loves the depth she can find in conversation with her Level 4 students. Krista's been doing a bang-up job of presenting the business correspondence material which I put together while here last year; we just hope the students in our class are learning something useful amidst the fun bantering!
Tonight is our first worship service here (worship services are Friday nights; cell groups meet on Sunday mornings). This weekend promises some exciting outings as some cell groups take both Northwestern and Thai students on adventures in and around Bangkok, and other Northwestern students will get to experience the weekend market. Sunday is the annual Loy Khrathong Festival which I know the Thai students will want to take us to. More updates to come!
