Work, wars, and something else with a "W"...

Friends, I gotta tell you, I'm feeling the pressure of this job. Haha....my name has been added to the wallpaper of index cards covering the space beside my desk/computer. It started out as one index, and now I'm beginning to surpass some of the other guys here. Have I explained my job to you yet? Here we go... I am a report processor. Any reports coming in, ranging from 10-100 pages, have to be processed on separate folders on the computer I use. I won't go any further, I feel like I'm losing you to boredom with the little I've explained so far. The first day I was here it took me almost SIX HOURS to do one report, since there is so much involved. I can now happily say that so far today, after four hours in the office, I have completed fourteen reports. Woohoo! But it's been rough. I've had to see a lot of photos, video footage, etc., that is going inside the boundaries of Burma. Why people aren't more aware of the genocide, I'll never understand. Today I saw a five-month old baby that had died from a gunshot wound. It was horrifying....the picture was so sad....it was of the mother holding the child. I could barely handle it. I'm sorry....I shouldn't explain these things. It's unnecessary, but I need prayer. I need prayer that God comforts my thoughts when I leave the office. The lack of sleep and increase of nightmares hasn't been good for my schedule or for my jet lag. But I signed up for this! I love it, and I know I'm helping the people of Burma. On to better things! I learned how to say "God loves you" in Thai. Phracaaw Raak Khun. I'm excited! I've been passing out Thai tracts to people as I walk home, since I can't speak fully to explain the Gospel to them, and now they'll have some idea of what I'm handing them! It's been so wonderful to meet the people around here, and I'm loving it more and more every day. Thailand is "The Land of Smiles", and the people here are more than friendly! Constantly walking with me, trying to use what little English they know to find out more about me. It's always a pleasant walk to and from work. Last night....I ACCOMPLISHED A GREAT TASK! After a small war in the corner of the house involving short screams and reptilic jumps, I caught.....a CHINCHOOK! Do you remember me telling you about those? These tiny little lizard/gecko creatures. And they are EVERYWHERE....but they're so fast! It's terribly hard to catch one. Angela (my roommate) told me that they bite and don't let go...but I'm willing to see for myself. I tried to keep him and name him Baxter, but as soon as I set him on my hand he leaped like a flying squirrel onto the wall and away into the shadows of the night. Fear me, ye chinchooks, you may have won the battle, but I shall win this war! Haha....it makes me laugh. As soon as I walked back to the couch in defeat from the whole mess, Angela just shook her head and said, "If you don't have anything to do, you find something ridiculously entertaining to do." She speaks the truth. Miss you!
