Timothy reports
well this is a very new and funny story for me. I've been up and down with the
boys, had a lot of encouragement from the team from the MV Doulos. I had my
camera go missing; talked to momo and she talked to the boys, and half an hour
later one of the boys casually walked me to it. It was really scary nearly
lossing that one. so just yesterday two boys were naughty AGAIN. I wasn't really
involved in the growling. I asked Somsee if she was going to beat them, (I
didnt want them to be and they thought i did). So the rest of the day was
showing them i loved them. One responded, the other didn't...guess who (Bulartoo). The one that responded, wanted to cut my hair, just a little bit (not a lot)
I said I'd pay 40 bamboo baht (the bamboo schools money). He agreed and come the
time today, he started. I had put strict rules that my "just-growing-back"
beard must stay untouched, and then he was off. But my sponsored boy, Bulartoo wanted to help. I had two boys chopping up my hair! Then Then-na-oo decided to
shave my side burns. I thought he was combing it but then I felt the blades
I yelled "what are you doing!" I got a mirror and I wanted to cry! My
dearly loved beard was missing a big patch of hair. He never helped again.
Then we had Dong come along, now with Dong, momo had said to me a few weeks
ago "whatever u do, never let Dong cut ur hair" so i said "Dong u can not". but
he didnt listen. He chopped away...soon i looked like martin luther when he
was a monk. Johann the german (from the doulos) came and kinda saved the
day.There was no way my hair looked like bilays so i changed it to make it
like kums, i soon looked like vanilla ice. i changed my preference and said to them all make it like Johann's cos it wasnt going like kum's either. so Johann showed them how to layer the hair and as they went on the piece on the shaver that was keeping it long fell off and i had a bald spot on the side of my head! then i said shave it off now and Johann helped them make it look kinda nice. so my years work of
growing my hair has be ruined in one hour. i asked for it though, now i
start again. i got my other side of the face fixed up and i still have a
little beard. i now have a personal shaver who i will pay ten bamboo baht to
everyweek to shave my face. his fine with it and so am i. Johann and i
concluded it was great fun for the boys, an adventure for me and a new
experience for him because he was teaching Narget, my personal barber how to shave
and therefore helped shave my face! now its not new for me to have my hair
this length, dad used to do it all the time to my brother and i. i still
gave the money to the kids and i have accepted that my hair is gone. it
means this time next year it will be a little longer then it was now and i
can stay a little cooler for this summer cause i dont have a ball of hair
on my head. If narget ( t silent) had of done it him self it would have
turned out really good, but my boy needed to play around with his sponsor
because there's been so much tention between us recently i was kinda ok
with the outcome.
Besides this year the girls now sleep in the old boys dorm and the boys have transferred into the girls. It really works, although we only have 5 boys and two girls at the moment! we'll see.
God is helping me through so many things at the moment, he's gone shopping
for me and i now have more clothes. some clothes i wont be wearing because
they are womens clothes and i have special people in mind for them back in
australia. i get very home sick when the kids play up, im learning to
address them in a stern but loving way when their being naughty and letting
them use my electronics at certain times. i love them so much and im praying
about sponsoring 4 boys instead of just one. im looking at a practical way
of doing this when i come home. im visiting the Doulos on saturday! i look
forward to it. the team have been great: they carry water with the kids and
have a program at 1pm every day for the kids. and they have been praying for
bulartoo and the others. there are 3 girls switserland, finland and south
africa, and two guys from germany and a country near russia starts with t i
think and ends with stan. this ones name is jumpshit and momo and i never
like saying his name! we joke about it because we're the only ones that
understand its english meaning. i usually just address him straight avoiding
saying his name and momo just says jump... and smiles.
oh iv heard from my friend Darjet that my other good friend one chai who has
been out of the refugee camp is now back in it and he is hoping to visit us
really soon. iv been waiting 6 weeks already i just want to see him!
any way i dont think theres much more to talk about, but im differently
being stretched and im carrying 4 normal sided buckets of water a day at the
moment with maybe one big bucket if my shoulders feel up the challenge with
the bamboo. momo saw me do it today and she wanted to get a photo to show
mum but i told her mum has already seen that cos i carried it with onechai
last time i was here. ok so god bless! pray for me everyday because everyday
there is something new for me to do, which reminds me yesterday i had to
clean dang's fathers wound without momo being there! now a few weeks ago
dangs father returned from burma, dang has been the best little guy EVER
since his back and its built a deeper friendship between him and i for some
reason, i think he can see i am really welcomeing of his father being around
and i encourage dang to spend as musch time with him as he can cause they
have a year and a half to catch up on. but he is great right now and last
night his father slept at the school and he was playing guitar and singing
and dang was lying next to me and says "teacher, my father" and pointed down
stairs with a smile. i said "yeah i know his really good", because he is.
and then he gave me a tight hug. anyway the wound his father had... he got
an infection in his bone and they treated it in hospital and he stayed there
a few days. then yesterday he came for wound cleaning and my boy came along
and helped me and i was sooooo nervous! but i did everything right and his
coming back today so momo can do it today. so yeh i had a taste of medical
yesterday. iv also tought the boys how to make books! so ill get them to
put covers on them soon and bring them back to australia sell them and earn
the boys some money.
