This describes my week thus far, yet good good things are happening!
This past sunday was Easter. Our team met together for a brunch and a worship time. We are currently having RMM leaders visiting us this week. They were with us on Sunday for Easter, and we had a wonderful time. I know our team is really encouraged having them be here. They will be meeting with our team throughout the week. So good... They have been a tremendous blessing!
Sharon has been very sick with a bacterial infection, and was hospitalized last week. She is doing so much better, and there are improvements. She will be in the hospital for at least two more weeks. We have been visiting her in the hospital everyday, the doctor requires a person to constantly be with her for one week. We all take turns, and have a smooth rotation going on! :) Last night I spent the night in the hospital with her, and in the evening our friends Tawan and Payao came to visit her. It was perfect timing. It was so good to see them, as I haven't seen them in a while! We had a great time together. Thank you so much for your prayers for Sharon. I know she appreciates them.
School continues to happen everyday. I am almost done with the 4th module, and will start the 5th module on April 3rd. I feel as if my understanding of the Thai language is progressing...some days! Ha! I think that my teacher is the best that I have had so far, I really enjoy going to class.
I have yet to teach English...there have been plans to teach, but so far no one has shown up, or they have cancelled! No worries, I think it will eventually happen.
The hot season has arrived, and every day is a sweaty, sticky day. I guess I will end on that unpleasant note...!

I am posting pictures of recent things here in Bangkok, so if you are interested please take a look here!...http://www.flickr.com/photos/sonyamai
School is continuing to go well. I am really enjoying learning to read and write the Thai script. I have been studying alot, and I have found that it is taking alot of my time.
Yesturday, we had a celebration/gathering with our Thai friends, and our team. We ate an enormous spread of food, and then worshiped, prayed, and studyed a passage from the Bible together, I found it really encouraging, and so beautiful. Please continue to pray for the believers here, and for the open doors in my community to love and serve.
I looks like the next two weeks will be quite busy...
Many Blessings,
Anita

Highlights
A different blog than normal...the following are some random and good things that have happened recently...
I have completed module 3 of the conversational Thai... I feel as if my understanding this language is steadily growing...
I bought a fish two weeks ago, put him in a pot with a water lily, and he died...it was a slight mess, so I had to get rid of the water lily as well. : [
Getting to know the people that God has put in my life here, has been a great blessing.
Our team had a one day retreat yesturday. I was so very encouraged in learning more about Thailand, how to genuinely love the Thai people, and to understand more about the vision of our team. We had a good time together.
Doors are opening across the street outside the bars. Several evenings this week, I have been able to sit and talk with the women there. They are so special... last night, they surprised me with a big fat grasshopper, and we enjoyed a late night crunchy snack together! Quite fun.
Today, I started the reading and writing course of my school...O my goodness, It will be good, but difficult. I do believe that I will be studying much more. Please continue to keep school in your prayers!
Tomorrow I am going to make salsa. I haven't been able to"cook" in a long time, and I am soooo excited...of course I will share it. ; )
I randomly ran into my friend Tawan today, at a bookstore near my school, it was so good to see and talk to her.
Next monday, I will start teaching English to a teenage girl...
I posted some new pictures.
Please be free to leave comments...you have no idea how encouraging they are, and I always enjoy reading them! Thank you for your prayers.
