Motorbike!!!

Hello Everyone!!! 

Yesterday, I bought a motorbike!!! I am so excited. It was so great because my friend Ginny took me to the Sunday market where they were selling second-hand bikes. She said to bring about 30,000 baht which is equivalent to roughly $900. Well, because I haven't received a paycheck yet from the school, I could not afford that much. We looked around and I was able to get a bike with only 12, 000 kilometers for 16,000 baht or $470!! God is so good and provides in such remarkable ways. It is such a blessing because now I can go places and it only takes me between 10-15 minutes to get to school. 

Rest assured that I am driving really slow and that I am a very cautious driver!!! I did buy a helmet (a cute one) and am wearing it. Here are some pictures. I am new to these bikes, so all I know is that it is a Honda Dream 125. Don't really know what that means, but I was told by my friend that it was in really good condition and that it will last for quite a long time!! 

I had my first day of New Teacher Orientation which went really well. All the new teachers were given a tour of the campus and given some important information regarding government paperwork and school policies. I also found out that the school is giving the secondary teachers Netbooks!! That is so great!! All these perks are fabulous! 

I'm starting to get really excited about starting school and meeting my kids. Please pray for my class as I will probably be one of the few teachers that actually talks to them about a relationship with Jesus. The school said we could talk to them about God, but that we weren't their to proselytize, but that they accepted students from all different religions and that we have to be sensitive to that. I do not plan on attacking a specific religion, but I do plan on doing a small devotion before each class period. I am going to take advantage of teaching in a Christian school and really want to share my testimony with these kids. They are at that age, where they form their own opinions and worldview and I hope that by sharing with them the gospel, their worldviews and opinions will be used to glorify our Lord Jesus. Please pray with me now before school begins that their hearts would be softened to hearing the Word! Thank you!!
