Sunday we spent all day at the church. The 6 under 6 were really looking forward to Sunday School, so were disappointed to discover that it was held before church - all finished by the time we got there. We kept them with us until the start of the sermon, but it was getting too much for them, what with it being all in Thai and they couldn't really join in the singing even. So Michael volunteered to take them outside, where he discovered some playground equipment on the campus/compound. So the kids enjoyed "church"!
One of our group is a guitarist, and was more-than-encouraged to join the worship team. A tall assignment to try following music in a almost-learned language when you don't know the songs, but he did a very passable job!
After church, we shared a meal with the church family in organized chaos. Volunteers kept bringing around different types of boxed lunches - our table ended up with at least 3 more than we could collectively eat. All varying degrees of spicy and delicious. Then a set of tables were cleared for us to do some activities with the church children and the orphans. Our 6 under 6 enjoyed themselves thoroughly with this!

And of course, the usual run-around chasey games that don't require much language :o)
As the afternoon wore on, and the need for helpers grew less, Daddy ended up here, taking a catch up nap. Mommy was more privileged - she got driven to the pastor's house for a nap on a real bed :o)
And this is a left over picture from Part 1... what most of us thought was honey comb actually turned out to be bee larvae... We found this out when one of us bought some for the orphans and it was served to all of us as part of our supper! We were told "delicious!" "Like corn!" etc. Mommy thought it tasted a little like some kind of meat. Daddy thought it was just sour. No one of our group ate very much! So it was left for the intended recipients anyway.
