Sports Fest

Sports Fest and Prayer Request
Pappet wrote: "Our sports fest start this week. It is a welcome relief after the gruelling mid-term exams last week. We separated the kinder from grades 1-6. It was really very funny during the banana eating contest for the Kinder 1 children. We blindfolded the contestants in pair (a boy and a girl). One is to feed the banana and the other is to eat the banana. One girl in a pair instead of giving the banana to her boy partner ate it herself. Everybody was just holding their middle laughing. There were more laughters from the group especially when the other pairs had already finished the game and the girl was still eating the banana slowly while her pair was waiting all the time. That was yesterday.
Today we had a cheering contest. We let them do it themselves. The children can be creative. We also had football and marathon.

May I request prayers for our visa? We are suppose to renew it this December. The Foundation who sponsored us is required to submit a lot of papers. This is because of the new Thai immigration law. Please pray that the foundation will be given a one year (renewable yearly) visa instead of the 3 months renewable that they are giving for non immigrants. Then, we don't have to cross the border to renew our visa every time.
