Carpentry Over and Dinner Out

We were back to Bible teaching today after a nice weekend. David Tucker shared his final lesson for this year, and he taught a great lesson about how God used Samson and his parents. He and Mary head home tomorrow, but the folks at FLC hope to see them back very soon. They were able to come all three years our current students were at KLC. Thank you, David and Mary!

Jon Ulm began a new study of I Peter with the students today. This letter of the New Testament was chosen because it is a letter addressed to people under persecution, people suffering for their faith, much like the people in Myanmar. While they do not face the threat of death very often, it is hard to do God's work in Myanmar, and this situation is very much like the situation Peter addressed in his letter to the people of Asia Minor.

Mid-day we were able to listen to a short concert by a gifted classical guitarist from Chiang Mai. He is a native of Burma who now plays guitar in one of Chiang Mai's finest restaurants. Beverley Kalnin had him come out to KLC to look around, and we enjoyed his beautiful concert! After he played for a half an hour or so, our Barefoot Doctor students sang a beautiful song for him.

After a second Bible lesson on I Peter, the students involved in the Carpentry Class finished up their class project, a new bench for the porch of the Jones Building, the main building for the Barefoot Doctors School. You can tell from the pictures that the students are very proud of the way the bench turned out!
This evening several of us were invited to dinner by Beverly Kalnin. She wanted to express FLC's appreciation to the Bible teachers and translators who teach this portion of the Barefoot Doctors School. We had a very nice dinner together at the Riverside restaurant. All the food we had was traditional Thai fare.
You can tell the Riverside is a great place to eat, with musical accompaniment, too! Thanks, Beverley, for a wonderful evening!
One final shot I had to include. This was the dessert Simon ordered when they said they had a Riverside Special. He expected it to be a little bit smaller than this, but I call it, "Percy's Decadence!" It was served on a large seashell, and it looked delicious!
