Leaving Bangkok!

Hello all! So it's been along time since I wrote on here, I appologize. Things have been really busy here and I havne't had time to get to the internet cafe at all! Things here are going so well. I love it! Where do I start....

Well, we are done our construction work on the church. We layed down and tied rebar on it. We have finished digging the septic hole. And on Sunday they came and poured the cement for the third floor which we were working on. It is the Sanctuary so that worked out cool that we were the team that got to help build that. I got to help with English registration the other day too. It was neat because the children/adults have to write a test to see where they are at and then we do an oral examination and it's neat to ask them questions and see how much they know. Some poeple are soooo smart! we got this one boy and he was soooo cute! HE left the table cuz we were done and then he came back cuz he wanted us to keep asking him more questions. So cute! I also sad in on a class and it was really cool, I think I might like to teach!

This last Friday we took a trip to the Univeristy here. It is the biggest in the world. It has 500,000 students but it is sooo ocheap. It only costs 20 baht (75cents) per credit hour! and to rent a nice apartment it is 2000 baht a month, so that is cheap also! But anyways we went there with some of the Thai young adults from the church and did our DRIMES for them. After we did some DRIMES we would go into the crowd with a Thai and tell them the gospel and stuff and then we also invited them to the church service that night. It was really cool, the language barrier was tough, but good. Then that night we got about 5 people fromt he Uni to come and it was such a good service. We did another DRIME and then our team was in charge of worship for part of it and it was cool! I love it when they sing their songs in Thai but they also have an english translation, it's so cool to hear at the same time!

On Sunday night the Thai Young Adults invited our team to the movie with them just for fun and relaxation. It was in english with Thai subtitles so we were able to understand it! We went to Iron man and it was relaly good, most of the people from our team, if not all, really liked it! And it was so cool to hang out with the Thai's. Their theatres are so nice and Yo, our travel guide from the church, says it was one of the worst theatres in bangkok!!!!

The last couple days have been more relaxing because we are preparing to go up north to Mae Sot and Fang! We leave tomorrow morning! Today we went over the church so that we could dedicate the new church building with the Thai's. We just sang some worship songs and then we prayed over it togther. Pastor (the Thai pastor) thanked us for all the hard work and half the girls on our team started to cry, including me of course, it was so nice! They are so sincere and beautiful. They have such tender pure hearts and I love that so much. i am going to be so sad tomiss them. They don't have anything to give financially or whatever but they thanked us with all their hearts for doing this for them and being in their lives! And then the workers bought us drinks which is so nice because in Thailand if you buy someone a drink it means you are friends with them! keke.

Anyways, this is sooo long, but this is what we have been up to and we are going to be moving up north and I don' tknow how frequently i am going tobe able to check this. So I want to ask you all to continue to pray and thank God for safety so far and continue safety and health. It is a spiritual battle and so we are all constantly getting worn out and tired. Prayer is much needed! Anyways, I will go but I will talk to you all when i can! Much love.
