This week is still a work in progress, but it sure is moving at a rate of knots. With our week-ends spent at Sozo Childrens Home, the week spent overseeing Stepping Stones Preschool and the joys of receiving visitors and leading a Sunday study as well as language lessons and study, our days move very quickly.
Sue is something of an old hand as a pre-school teacher now and the kids love her to pieces. One of our teacher helps has also left and we have brought on young Juntee, a great little lady. Together with Phanarath - who teaches the youngest class - and Sopheap who is Sue's helper, we really have a great little team. Tuesday was my day on deck - a rest for Susie (except she ended up doing a spring-clean in prep for the arrival of Annie and daughters) and a first-ever-in-my-life for me as a pre-school teacher. No worries!
Tuesday was also the return of the Centre of Peace sweet-hearts: one tuk-tuk, 10 kids and Bophal on a return visit. Much fun had by all!
This week-end will be our last at Sozo. Grahame and Sandra are due to return from Brisbane in the week. It certainly will not be the end of our involvement with them or the young ones tho'. Long live committed relationships!
Tonight should be the expat small group with our church - but I'm running a healthy fever and am hacking away so maybe not. Tomorrow is language, making sure Annie and offspring are all good, pre-school and a birthday catch-up with Colleen (who refuses to divulge age info) and friends. Then Saturday back into Sozo.
I'm beginning to hang out for clean air and sand between my toes. There has been tremendous grace on these first 7.5 months out here, and we are hugely grateful to God, family and friends. Never-the-less, it sure will be good to see our mums, our kids and many good friends again. I have not started the sleep count-down yet tho' - too much to live for in the now to be pining for the future!
