Summer Volunteer update

So the team has been here for just over a week now. Though it seems like much longer! In a good way! :)
I'm home sick today (and yesterday too) so I'm working on updating all the facebook pages & thought I'd update the blog also.

So there are 12 team members between the ages of 13-31! Pretty crazy! Well, the 31 year old is a leader . . . so the team of 10 (minus 2 leaders) are between 13-18 I think.

They've been teaching English everyday at a school near where we are staying. We've also done some evening activities & have also tried to throw in some fun stuff- like the pool & the mall.
We've participated in a Medical Clinic w/ the church & have attended the Thai Church twice now. Last week was a special Revival Day & we got a treat b/c the speaker was preaching in English! So Anne had to translate from the stage into Thai.

So here are some pictures from the last week of ministry:
