Blessings



Back in November, we helped do an English camp at our friend Sean’s site. During a break time, we were hanging out at the home of one of Sean’s counterparts. An old man in the house wanted to give us a blessing before we left.

He tied a string around the left wrist of each one of us while murmuring his wishes that we have good health, good travels, and good remaining time in Thailand. He was very sweet and sincere.
Typically, when you have a string ceremony like this in Thailand, you wear the string until it falls off. The one I currently have on my wrist is from our COS conference in December.

If you can’t tell from the photos, it was yellow shirt day at English camp.
