Tuesday

Some of us playing games with students at the centre

Tuesday, March 29, 2016

Today was filled with lots of heat, stresses, and also joy - the Lord gave us strength and energy to persevere. We started to paint the main room in The Centre, and hopefully we will finish tomorrow! We had lunch at Sam's favourite place again today, and then we went to interact with the students at the Centre. At around 6:00 we left to go to dinner in the market and do some shopping. Every Day our team does a debrief, and at the end we share a high, a low, and an awkward part of the day. This is what mine were:

High: I liked the painting because I am a project person, and I wanted to get it all done today, however I am okay with waiting a little to finish.

Low: Was also to do with the painting. I am a perfectionist, so I take a little bit of a longer time to do something than others, and when I make mistakes, I get that much more frustrated. For the longest time I continued to paint the wall paint onto the base boards, and this consisted for like a solid hour, to the point where  I just started to carry a wet cloth with me because I'd paint the baseboard so often.

Awkward: I have a fairly loud laugh, and while playing a game with the students, I laughed, and I saw them look and then begin to talk in Thai, which made me feel a little awkward because I have no idea what they were saying. They seemed to be talking about me. 
Another awkward moment was two minutes ago when Janelle started getting loopy because she's over tired. For my sanity, I should probably leave this and let her go to bed, before things get too weird. :) Thanks for all the prayers and support, we miss and love you all!
