That means thank you, peeps! Tomorrow I start my Thai lessons! I am so excited! Since I only have two weeks to learn as much Thai as possible, since I won't be able to continue the Thai lessons with the prison visits and MK camp in the coming weeks, we're starting some intense lessons dealing with phonetics, etc. I can't wait! I've learned a few words so far, but not many. Haha.....A for effort, perhaps? ;)
Ahhh....the Thai church was amazing. They started off with singing....I'm going to post a video of it on my Facebook....the girls' voices (of the Daughters of Ruth) were beautiful. So in tune with each other, and so sincere. These girls have come from VERY broken homes, and the fact that they sing with so much peace and honesty is moving. I loved it. Very different from America, but wonderful nonetheless. I still miss my church, but what a rewarding experience!
The Aa-Jaan, or pastor, preached on Jesus being the Bread of Life, and how selfish it is for us not to share the Bread with others. It was a great message. My friend Angela helped translate most of it for me, thank g'ness......mmmmhmmmmm......
How do I explain Thailand to someone?!?! A lot of people have been asking me to sum it up. It's hard! It's a crazy place, but a beautiful kind of crazy. It's so different, the sights, the smells, the people. I feel very blessed to be able to experience this, and to do the work that Christ has called me to do.
English camp for the Daughters starts tomorrow. I am so excited! We've brain-stormed a lot over the lesson plans, and I think the girls are going to catch on very quickly. :)
Take care, mit. (friends) Yeah, I'm bilingual now. Hahaha.....fo' sho'. Not really though.
