Just a quick update for all wondering, Yes they made it to the farm with no problem! (thanks for praying!) .  The boys just have a little more rice to pick up and bundle, they already had the thresher come and thresh the first batch they had ready, and they got 28 bags, when they finish getting the rest up they will have them come and thresh the rest( I really, don't know if I am saying this correctly).  Better details when Stan gets back and fills me in. They are working on plowing, and trying out the rototiller on the ground that was already harvested.
     Today while walking to the village market, I observed a sad sight, there were about 5 monks, standing by the road with a fairly large group of people gathered offering them food, and bowing to them. I was struck by the fact that this does nothing for them eternally!, on one hand and it keeps them poor on the other hand, because they have to give a percent of all they earn/have to satisfy them.  I have observed this on a one on one, basis, but never with such a large number of monks, and people. with such earnestness, and much offering. Of course it was the one time I didn't have my camera along.....
      Lessons are going fairly well, the kids are so patient waiting their turn to use the machine, iron, and for my help. I've got them grouped by project, this week so I'm not wearing out my brain jumping from skirt, to bookbag, backpack ect. you get the idea... today was backpack day, tomorrow is skirt day,                            Seena has blessed me with being my assistant teacher, her english is pretty good now, and can help the kids understand what I am trying to tell them to do, or showing them how to do, and keeping bobbins filled, machines threaded ect. I am hoping she will feel confident enough that after I leave she can carry on helping who ever wishes to keep sewing!  Ra was so cute today, I showed her how to put in a zipper, and she accomplished it herself! she was beside herself with excitement!
    Sorry there aren't pictures, will have more, soon.
    Pray that God would help us to be extra sensitive to the needs around us and how we can help the most to bring Glory to Him.
