My Time Away

For four weeks this summer, I had the privilege of once again traveling to Bangkok, Thailand. I was there in the summer of 2006 to start my master's degree. This time I went to finish my master's degree. Philadelphia Biblical University has an amazing education department that allows teachers living overseas to travel to either Bangkok, Thailand or Kanderam, Germany to work towards a master's degree in education. At the time I started I was teaching in Mongolia, and it was a great opportunity to start my degree and receive credits for renewing my teaching certification without having to travel all the way back to the States. This last year, I was in Delaware and was able to commute up to the main campus in Langhorne, PA (about 15min. north of Philly). The Lord blessed me and allowed me to go back to Bangkok this summer to graduate with my original class! It was so neat to catch up with them and to see Bangkok again! I'm including some pictures to allow you to catch a glimpse of my stay!
