Man appriciation day

Two weeks. That's it. 14 days and about 36 hours of travel is all that stands between us and you! We are so excited to see everyone. (We're not as excited about the longest travel day in our history but we'll do it gladly in order to get home.) Pray that we will get over our colds before we have to travel. We have some Australian friends who just got home after 52 hours of travel due to the Bangkok Airport closure. They both had colds and said it was a fairly miserable endeavor.
We just had Fathers day on Friday. It is celebrated on the Kings birthday in the same way that mothers day is celebrated on the Queens birthday. Handy. There was a program during Saturday Night vespers that honored all the fathers on staff. As all the dads shyly made their way up front other saff members kept coaxing michael to go too. He tried to explain to them that he was not a father but they kept on insisting that he go up front with the rest of them. Desiree, our new volunteer commented that Sauce was kinda like our kid and the teachers told him that his students were like his kids too, so along with the two other men who weren't fathers he made his way reluctantly to the front and was honored with all the rest.
I guess we can just fudge and call it "man" appreciation day.
