Back in August Grapevine took a group on a service trip to teach in the village schools in Roi Et. It was an awesome opportunity for Bangkok people to experience life in rural Thailand. We taught the students English, but we learned so much about ourselves and each other. Partnering with the Muang Thai Church in their ministry in Roi Et has been incredibly beneficial for us and our students as we learn to share our time and energy with those in need.
We got to join in a local festival while in Roi Et, which included games, food, music and a parade. Here's Patzy showing the boys how to shoot a toy gun. Final score: Patzy 4, both boys 2.
After a difficult morning helping local farmers planting rice, we all gained a greater appreciation for the rice we eat every day!

Halloween fun at Grapevine! Even though most of the students had exams during the last week of October, the staff couldn't miss the annual Halloween party. Here we are all dressed up. (I'm a CEREAL killer, just in case you couldn't tell.)
Students makin' creepy luminaries to decorate Grapevine.
Yes, even when bobbing for apples I'm a bit dramatic.
