My Class at School


I am in second grade at my new school. My teacher's name is Ms. Marie. She is from the Philippines. There are 8 students in my class, 4 girls and 4 boys. Five of my classmates are Thai, one girl is from Sri Lanka, a boy is from India. Most Thais go by their nicknames because their given names are very difficult to pronounce, and there last names are very, very long and even harder to pronounce. For this reason, most adults are addressed as Mr. Tom, or Ma'am Sue, instead of using there very long last names.

I like math and Bible class because they are easy. My hardest class is Thai. I take Thai at school three days a week and it is a hard language to learn, but I am learning. It is a tonal language with 5 tones so being musical helps in learning this language.

Fruits I Like

When I moved here, I tasted these new fruits. Here are some of my favorites! If you ever have a chance to eat them, try them!
  • Pomelo: Pomelo is my favorite fruit in Thailand. I like it because it tastes like grapefruit. It’s hard to peel the thick green skin. Here's a link to learn more about the pomelo fruit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomelo
  • Mangosteen: Mangosteen is a cool fruit because the outer skin is purple, and the inside is white. It has sections like an orange. It tastes like the sweetest mango, but better. It is my second favorite fruit. Here's a link to look at mangosteen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangosteen
  • Snake fruit: Snake fruit has a spiny outer skin that feels like a snake. I like snake fruit when its in a drink. Explore more about snake fruit by going to this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakefruit
  • Mango: Mango is a cool fruit because it has many varieties. There are many colors too. It tastes sweet and melts in your mouth at the same time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mango

Teasing is No Fun

I’ve been teased a lot at my new school. I don’t like it when people tease me. I feel upset when I am teased. I don’t want to be teased.

The people who are teasing me are just trying to get my attention.

So here is what I say to those who tease me:

• “Hey, come on! Let’s go play freeze tag or another game!

• Or I ask them, “Please stop teasing me.”


• I try to ignore their teasing way.


Jesus says "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
"
John 13:34


This Bible verse reminds me to love those who tease me.

Learning about Jesus at the Beauty Salon



I went to a beauty salon this past Sabbath afternoon. Pastor Konkrit's church plant shares Jesus with the boys and girls of this neighborhood.

The owner of this beauty salon lets use her shop! She is nice.

At this Branch Sabbath School I was brave and got up front and said my memory verse. There were a lot of boys and girls here!
We sang songs, said Bible verses, and listened to Bible stories.
It's fun to learn about Jesus at the beauty salon!

My Bunnies


Our family had four bunnies. Two of them were mine, and the other two were my brother's. My bunnies names were Snowball and Hoppy. They liked to eat vegetables, especially carrots and spinach!
