Tawm with Buu (Grandpa)

When we go out to the village every month, one of the people we look most forward to seeing is Buu which means Granpa in Thai. Buu has a great personality, loves to laugh and talk even if you have no idea what he is saying. Buu is the man that donated the land to build the school in the hill tribe village. Buu reads his Bible everyday and when we go out to the village to teach, he usually sits in on classes too. Buu really likes Tawm as Tawm can speak a Northern Thai dialect to talk with him. The month before when we went out to the village without Tawm, Buu kept asking where Tawm was. Unlike most older people, Buu really likes to have his picture taken and he asked if he could have his picture taken with Tawm.
