On Monday, I went to a big boarding home with a bunch of the staff and students from the school here. The place is funded by Reach Switzerland, and it's about 2/3 of the way from here to Mae Sot. A handful of us stayed at Pastor Seth's house, where we were treated to an upscale Karen meal. I enjoyed it well enough until one of the teachers pulled something from the soup and cleaned it down to the ribcage. When I asked if any of the dishes were vegetarian, I became glad for the brown rice and peanuts I had packed.
The next day, Blet Jaw and Wah Nay Paw were married. Blet Jaw is the teacher who has been helping Gayle with her medical ministry - one of the nicest people ever. Wah Nay Paw is a teacher here at the school - she's more quiet, so I don't know her as well.

On Wednesday, the Steck family left for a conference in Chiang Mai. That left all the post-kindergarten english classes with no teacher for 3 days (now it might be 4 days). So I offered to go to the higher grade (5-8) classes and help them with pronounciation and questions they might have. The story ends up with grades 1-4 being the confused ones, however, because those are the classes I was sent to.
That's sweet that they were married on Valentine's day! Looks like a beautiful wedding! :)
