Here's Paul and PJ walking into the school entrance gate. The scene was typical of the first day of school and thankfully it was a beautiful sunny day today! No rain! There were several children crying in PJ's class but PJ was a real trooper. He was a little shy but he never shed one tear! I stayed with him about ten minutes in class and then left. I prayed so hard the whole morning. I picked him up at noon anxious to hear how his morning went. He said it was good, he had fun, he liked the food for lunch, and he got to play with play dough. He also said, "I tried to speak really hard, but didn't." I laughed and told him that was ok...it would come. Please continue to pray for PJ and for wisdom for us. I am sure the day will come when he will be frustrated with not being able to communicate. Please pray that he will have patience and we will know how to encourage him. We tell him often how special he is to have this very unique opportunity...he seems to receive that well! It sure is a blessing for him to learn Thai and meet some new friends too.

Hi, Crystal. I'm a friend of Rhianna's. Those pictures are so sweet. PJ looks like such a big boy. I imagine he will start to learn lots of Thai quickly. Children are amazing in that way!
Hey Crystal,
The pictures are sweet! I am so thrilled that he did well yesterday and know that we are praying with you for this to be a wonderful experience.
Love,
Rhi
I love the pics of PJ! He is growing so fast! He is a real trooper and I know he will do well and quickly learn to speak Thai.
We are praying for you all!

hi Crystal! it's Lexie from Waynesboro. Wow, your son is so brave! I'll pray for him. I'm also looking to move to bkk towards the end of November, so I look forward to meeting you!
Hey Crystal,
Give PJ a big hug from us. I guess I didn't realize what struggle he was having. If you don't mind I'll share with the kids so that they can start praying. They love to pray for their cousins.

What a big boy! I would have been crying right along with the other children on the first day! Tell PJ we are proud of him and that he looks very handsome in his uniform.

I'll be praying for him too Crystal. :)
Grace- I thought it was you, but wanted to make sure!
And for all of you thanks for continued prayers. Today was a rough one for PJ but he came home happy even though I left him not so happy!
