Snapshots of May

 I mostly remember May as a month of growth, fun, and meeting new people. 

Enjoy this tour through pictures. First up, the sky because we need to be in awe at God's paintings. 😍😌

Wu Yuan Bay

I passed a young lady on my walk and smiled at her. Then an hour later I passed her again, said 'hello', asked her name, then we kept talking for a couple hours afterwards. :)

Under a bridge there's this ping pong area. The lady I met also likes to play so we agreed to meet the following week. :)

We walked to a mall where I saw this car in the car lot.

Being alone in nature is not only relaxing, but 100% healing for me - emotionally and mentally. This gorgeous Saturday, I came to the bay again and sat here, staring at the water, then walking. I want to always remember these scenes - one day I'll miss them. 

A drawing from my student on how to say 'dad' and 'mom' in Chinese. Actually, the wrong tone of 'dad' means 'poop.' I don't know how many dads I've accidentally called poop. 😅

My student's pet praying mantis. 

My church threw a lunch party to celebrate women on mother's day. We enjoyed fellowship and a fun game time. 

After work one day, my coworker and I ate at a pizza place Champion pizza. 

She ordered durian pizza for us, which is honestly gross, but the tea drinks are top notch. 

I wandered into a cake shop to wait for work one day, and met this sweet, big buddy. 

He's so adorable.

God blessed me through a friend in a way I didn't know I needed. 

She gave me this electric bike. 

While waiting in the hospital for an MRI, my friend sketched this of me. 

Coworker and I ate at the pizza place again; this time spaghetti, chicken, and fries. :)

The lady I met at the park met up on the following Sunday to drink milk tea together and play ping pong.

This milk tea is splendid.

I met some guys playing ping pong and we started playing together.

I wanted to show you a scooter. So many, even bikes, have these add-ons: extra seats in the front or back for kids. So creative.

Drawings to teach how to use personal pronouns correctly.

Thai massage room

This reminds me of an unexpected blessing. My student's mom just brought me this drink because she said she got herself one and just ordered 2. 💚

The end.
