Monday (12/1):

Slept until about 12pm. Pretty relax day. That night I helped Jah with more of her English homework and helped Pat make little jellies to sell at the school. We wanted to sell some food at the school to raise money for the youth in the area who wanted to go to Cambodia for the Baha'i Conference but didn't have enough money.

Tuesday (12/2):

School as usual today. During lunch we worked with the Crossword girls again. They memorize so much! Right after school we ran home to get the jelly and also pick up P''Wi who was helping us sell and brought meatballs to sell as well. We set up the stand at the school and sold all our food. It was good but I was tired.

Wednesday(12/3):

Woke up early for gate duty today. Today there was practice for the King's birthday a.k.a. Father's Day celebration at the school. So we had two hours of hanging around that we spent working more with the Crossword girls. After practice was over I had class with 6.1 where I taught them the “this is a spoon” game. They had a great time with it.
We sold meatballs and jelly and carrot cake today. We sold out of everything again. It was kind of frustrating to sell these things. All the kids come at you like a mob; they don't do the whole line thing very well.

Thursday(12/4) Father's Day Celebration:

Got to school just in time for the beginning of ceremony. It was really cute to see all the little kids with their dads. They gave them all flowers! A couple prayers were said and then there were a couple of Thai dances where the Canadian twins Yasmin and Roya had gotten all dressed up and did a dance with the other girls. Adorable!!
We sold more food after school. We had A LOT of food but we ended up selling ALL of it! Yay! I think we made good profit of selling food. After school the Canadian family and I went with Golee to one of her friend's house (P'Hiuey). She and her husband own a car dealership as well as several phone stores. The husband collects fish so we went over to see the fish. He was pretty serious about the fish he had. Apparently he flew to Chine to get some of the fish and every month he had actual sea water shipped to him for the tank. CRAZy! It was cool though to see because he had all kinds of fish and coral. He even had Nemo and Dory! Haha.
After looking at the fishes we ate carrot cake made by P'Wi who also joined us and drank a lot of tea. We watched the kids play, the twins and P''Hiuey's son and daughter, while we ate and talked. It was a really nice afternoon and we got to just relax.
Good News- Protestors have left the Bangkok airport!
