Grapejam!

Published by Meagan at 2:21 pm under Thailand

Everything has been going wonderfully here in Thailand! Last week was our Thanksgiving Grapejam. We had a really great turnout and dinner was amazing! We had turkey, mashed potatos, pies, cassaroles, and so much more. Everyone loved it. We also made turkey hands. It was really good fun!
Our new activities have been really popular as well. Badminton Club has had around 10 or so Thai students every Monday night, and the Music Club performed this week at Grapejam. Fun on Campus is now on Wednesdays, and we’ve been meeting tons of new people! It’s right before Cafe English, so a lot of our new friends go from one to the other, spending all afternoon with us! We had 17 people at Cafe English today!
This past weekend was our Cow Yai Retreat to Khao Yai National Park. We had over 40 people attend. It was a great trip - we hiked to waterfalls, played games, had skits, testimonies, a devotional, and it was some of our Thai friends’ first time roasting marshmallows! We were also attacked by leeches, but it just made it more of an adventure, and a great thing to parody during the skits. It was a great chance to spend time with our friends and to make new ones!
We recently made a great new friend, Kaijae. What’s great about Kaijae is that we met here last Wednesday at Fun on Campus and have spent everyday with her since then! She brought 6 or 7 of her friends to Met Angun, or Thursday night bible study, signed up for the retreat with her wonderful friend, Ja, and brought 6 or 7 first-timers to Grapejam this week (it was her first time as well)!
Speaking of this week’s Grapejam, it was amazing! We had almost 40 Thai students, a record since we’ve been here, and a ton of first-timers! They all came to F.O.C. and Cafe English today as well. It’s really great to see so many new friends get so excited about our activities!
P.S.

    It looks like St Patricks day in thailand with all the green shirts. I expect to see the enormous cow under the christmas tree as it looks like the perfect gift, I’ll even pretend it is a surprise!
