Getting Settled

Well, after about 34 hours of travel, I made it! It was amazing how I was able to get all the flights I needed and sitting in first class was just icing on the cake! After getting settled in my new room, I was able to get a good nights rest which was nice. I spent the morning talking with Bobby and Paula and catching up on life. We then took a bike ride to the market street to grab food for lunch. It's hard to really describe the experience. It's hot, you have to avoid getting hit by cars and mopeds, and you get all these different smells from street vendors. It was all slightly overwhelming.

I can't tell you how excited I am for the next few days. We're going to a Hillsong concert Wednesday night, and meeting Thai students all day Thursday. The first mission team comes in next week so I will be joining them most of their time here. Please continue to pray for me as I begin learning Thai and meeting so many new people. I know God has some amazing things planned.

The first picture is of a tropical fruit. I can't remember what it's called. It looks like a hairy strawberry but you peel the outer shell to eat a white, jelly center. Very different. The second picture shows Hank and I with our plates full of different kinds of fruit, soup, chicken, and rice. It was my first Thai meal. I will be honest, a few minutes after we took this picture I started to feel a little weird. I'm not sure if it was the food or jet lag but I started sweating and felt dizzy. I think it was that hairy strawberry. Haha. It went away after a few minutes. I guess my body is just adjusting to all this.



For the King,
