We are already starting the third week of second semester. Since my last entry we had a three week “break” for the Feast. The Feast is always a busy time of year, and this year was no exception. We had families that came from the camps to stay at the school and it was definitely booked here!<\/p>\n

This year we have a big first year class so it adds when students come for the first time. As usual I really enjoyed keeping the Feast with the students. The activities are more fun if we are all together.<\/p>\n

Big FOT highlights are the following:<\/p>\n

– FOOD – Lots and lots of Empress hotel buffets, where the students stock up on the assortment of desserts and load their plates with white rice.
– MUSIC – The students’ performances and all of those who participated in the music at the Feast, it was wonderful to hear. This year I directed the choir and am mightily thankful that I started out with a talented bunch!
– Chiang Mai Zoo and SNOW DOME – Not only did we get to see many animals, but some of the students got a taste of a Minnesota winter when we went in the Snow Dome.
– Bowling – Every year the student activity is bowling and every year I think it is fun – however, my score gets lower with time!
– Swimming – The last night we all get to enjoy the pool under the big, beautiful sky. And during the Feast I get to enjoy it and soak up the sun! It never fails to relax me!
– Talent Night – This year I laughed so hard! These students can be total hams! I’m not surprised, I’ve seen it around school too, but still, they were very funny in their skit!<\/p>\n

Here are some pics so you get an idea of what it was like:<\/p>\n

The Feast was really enjoyable not just because of the things above, but also the fellowship and chance to hear so many messages! It was a very positive time.<\/p>\n
