The Girls on the Bike

So, I had a cool thing happen to me yesterday! I had my first Thai language lesson since returning and it was horrible! I have forgotten so much and my new teacher speaks next to no English so communication was very rough.

As I walked home, I was close to tears out of extreme frustration. Then, two girls rode by on a bike and said an enthusiastc "hello!" I returned the greeting and they asked me my name.

That was as long of a conversation as there was time for -- they were well on their way by this point -- but it was all I needed for God to tell me that this is the reason why I'm going through the mass frustrations of learning the Thai language. It's to impact the children of Thailand!

So, it was a short lesson but a valuable one to me -- I again have the motivation to study Thai!
