All you need is love (and a pirate lion mask)...



Hi everyone, it's Hannah here - writing after a long day at church! We left for church at 8am, got some breakfast (toasted sandwiches!) at the corner shop, listened to worship until 9am, then at 9:30 we started Sunday school, while the adults had a Bible teaching session. Our theme was Noah's ark, which involved a lot of games about animals. We also tried to learn some Thai songs - which was a challenge! Kate and I had the pre-school class, which was chaotic, but the kids are very cute - one brought Kate a mini pizza as a present. We also made animal masks in the afternoon, which the children really enjoyed (hence the pictures).

We're definitely making the most of the time here, with every minute filled with something! Tomorrow Martin and Tim are doing some building work (not sure exactly what - something to do with sand) and in the evening we are going out to a village to share testimonies and songs and play games - Pi Joy told us we must tell everyone that Jesus loves them. This reminded me of the heart of what this is all about - it's not about us having an experience, or even teaching children English or playing worship songs or preaching - it's about people knowing that they are loved - by God and by people.
