Today we started teaching through By This Name. While it started out well, at the end of the day we ended up w/ about 25% of those that started! No worries, we actually wanted a smaller group, of people who are serious about reaching those around them. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Spent the day going over some of the problems that we have w/ the translation, and figuring out how to get books printed then marked for those leading the study. Getting 25 copies printed the day before is not how we usually like to work, but this time it seems to be working out ok (so far!)

In getting ready, we were able to get out a little, and a visit to the Buddha’s university for a little Monk Chat.

Had a team meeting in the morning, met with the translators / checkers for lunch, then to a temple on a mountain ridge, back down for the dentist, then up again for dinner…

Traveling pictures are not that glamorous, but helps keep things in perspective!

Today we went to church with Amos and Jen. Lunch, filming in the afternoon, then Robert and I went to supper with our hosts—James and Mon Bin.

Went to the Botanical Gardens in the morning, but didn’t feel that well. So I took the MRT home, and slept for 5 hours! Then to Amos and Jen’s for supper!

The last day of the seminar…

Day 2 of the seminar. Again 9:30 to 6:00 pm.

Started teaching today - 9:30 am. to 6:00 pm. Home by 9:00 again, but thankful for Ileane for offering to do laundry!

Today was our first day without a “real” appointment, so we were able to get out and see some things. Went to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum, then visited a Hindu Temple, then Sim Lim and some other shopping. Home by 9:00…

Today we met with the folks from TWR (Trans World Radio) both before and after lunch, and had lunch! Afterwards, we took the MRT downtown and took a look-see.

Went to church where John spoke for the main service. Afterwards, we went for lunch, set up for Wednesday’s meetings, home for a bit then for supper. Got home around 10:00 tonight.

One would think that if it could go wrong, it did. While it wasn’t that bad, there were many problems in either RF interference in the wireless mic, to videos playing out of sync. Rather frustrating day at the beginning, but in the end proved to be a very valuable time.

Spent the day as a team planning a little, then building props, and finally to the venue to set-up for tomorrow’s lessons. Had quite a bit of trouble with some of the videos in the presentation, and took a long while getting that sorted out. So we thought…
