Easter Fun and Teaching English


So, I got this idea to make cupcakes for my English students that I teach on Saturdays. I was also quite excited to share with them the greatest story ever...the story of Easter! Friday afternoon, PJ and I got out the muffin tins (thanks Grandma and thanks Grammie for bringing them with you!) and baked some yummy Easter bunny muffins. I got the recipe off of the Betty Crocker website. I also want to thank Grammie for bringing marshmellows when they came because I had to use them for the bunny ears...and marshmellows are very hard to find in Thailand! You can see the creation there on the left. I used some Easter sprinkles my mom sent LAST year for the eyes and nose and whiskers. And I must say, they were quite tasty!

And, here's my class (those that came on Saturday). I usually have 6-7 students. It rained Saturday morning so I think that might have deterred a few of them as well as Friday was a holiday so some of them may have been on a thiaw (outing). I got one new student (Tum-she's pictured on the left. She's a friend of mine from the park and started bringing her son to Joy Kids last week and joined my class Saturday!).
As I mentioned, I shared the Easter story with my class using the Resurrection Eggs and a Thai children's Bible. I was amazed at how intently they all listened. It's hard to know if they were truly interested or just being polite...but at least they heard the Good News (in a very broken and weak way from me!). Please pray for my students. Pray for God to work in their hearts. At least one of my students is going on the English camp the beginning of May with her family. Pray that more will sign up (the deadline is Thursday of this week). The English camp is being hosted by us and two short term teams coming from the States. Please pray for this event. English Camps provide a great venue for us to really get to know the Thais that come. Pray that the Thais would see Christ and want to know Him! Pray for the Spirit to be on the move.
