I need to get some stinken pictures on here!

So.....today was the best day ever. I was asked to lead devotions today with the girls. I do it through Angela Morse, who translates for me. She's great! The Lord really put it on my heart to do the Romans Road with the girls, and to give my salvation testimony. I didn't ask after we had an invitation who accepted Jesus Christ into their hearts, because I know that the girls would be embarassed, but I believe some did....and Angela mentioned it later that one in particular, Nee, looked as though she had tears in her eyes after the prayer. God is SO good! I feel so honored and privileged that He would allow me this opportunity to serve Him in Chiang Mai. How wonderful it is to know that I can freely talk about His sacrifice to others, and see them so willingly come to the cross.

Everything about Chiang Mai has been wonderful so far. As I walk through the little village area where I'm staying each morning, I'm met with kind faces of people who either want to take a picture with my camera, or want to walk and talk with me. Unfortunately that's very limited, since I don't speak that much Thai, but it's nice to have them there and meet them anyway. The people in Thailand have a kind spirit about them, and I like that. :)

The food....can I talk about the food again? It's just all good. I love rice, and I love pork, and I love chicken, and I love sauces, and I love the fact that the other day when we bought pizza for all of the girls, there choice of topping was.......KETCHUP! This place is perfect! How I am going to miss it. But I don't want to think about that right now.

I went to see the Buddhist temples in the mountains on Wednesday. They are so beautiful! Pure gold, and they are in this quiet, serene area where there is a BREATHTAKING view of Chiang Mai. I loved it. It was sad to see the tourists so openly embrace the Buddhist philosophies, even though I don't really believe that they understand them completely. But it was a great outing! Tom and Gayle are two awesome tour guides. Haha!

So.....I'm not gonna lie....I miss The Office. Rant over.

Random, I know, but there ya go. I've been here one week, and it's been a great one at that. Thanks for keeping up to date! I'll try to get some pictures on here! You can check out my Facebook as well, and if not, just add me and you can look through my entire album!
