“Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom”

BUDDHA

I’ve always dreamed of going on an overseas mission, but asked myself – where would I go? And, how could I help? After a couple months in to my retirement, a magazine came in the mail from the Maryknoll Missioners. Flipping through the magazine, I landed on a page that described short-term overseas mission opportunities in various countries. The program in Thailand teaches English to adult monks and lay people as well as adolescent monk boys from Myanmar. So, here I am in Bangkok for 3 months teaching English! I will try to post about my experience each week (but, don’t hold me to it!!)
