The past week has been great! Last Sunday James and I and two women who were visiting the school went to an elephant camp. We took a bamboo raft down the river, rode an ox cart, and then rode elephants! There was a seat on top of the elephant, but part of the time I got toride bareback on my elephant's neck, which was a great experience. Classes are going well- I passed out recorders to my music class earlier this week, so now we get to hear the melodious sounds of 13 recorders every Tuesday and Thursday. I've taught them four notes sofar, and believe me, that is plenty. In choir this week I taught thethe song "How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings," which the students thought was hilarious because one of the girls is named Doi Ling and her name sounds pretty much the same as the word dwelling. This weekend James, Ryan, and I are going to Mae La, which is a Karen refugee camp near the border of Burma. We are leaving early Friday morning. On Saturday afternoon Ryan and I will also go to Mae Sot tomeet with another family there, and James will stay in Mae La. We areall coming back on Sunday so that we only have to miss one day of classes. I'm really interested to know what the refugee camp will be like, so I will make sure to tell you about that next week!
