Quick Update on the Weekend

Time for an update and I'm not too sure what to share. I haven't been feeling amazing since after Friday night's party. Saturday was a day of rest so I pretty much just slept all day. I think I left the room once. Sunday was church in the morning, which was great. Dr. Martindale from the Evangel team spoke and was then translated into Thai by P'King, so we could understand the whole sermon in its original language, which was very nice. Sunday night one of the students at the English center was going to take us to the “Walking Street” market so that we could experience it, however, it rained. It poured, actually, but it had mostly let up by the time we were supposed to meet up. But, apparently the market can get rained out and a lot of vendors won't come to sell in the rain. So the student, Rainbow, took us to the mall instead. It was a lot of fun! We also got to see a movie and get our fix of laughter for the week (Kung Fu Panda 2, amazing).

And today we took a prayer walk around the university campus, ate lunch in their cafeteria. 15 baht (about 50 cents) for a half decent meal. Gotta love it. Then we had a nice long meeting to plan stuff out for this week since Lauren (the missionary) is going to be out of town until Friday. There is a team from Evangel, I can't recall if I have mentioned this already or not, but there was a team from Evangel in Cambodia and they are coming to Chiang Mai tonight to spend a few days here before they return to America. I don't quite understand all the logistics of it or anything, but they are coming. And that means this week is gonna be full of “fun stuff” with them, such as riding elephants. I have to say, I am definitely looking forward to that one (though not the smell so much). Reminds me of Camels in Petra, Jordan. Good times. :)

Anyway, this week is gonna be a little crazy, so please pray that I start feeling better. I don't know what's going on, but hopefully I'll be back to normal before Wednesday (elephant ride). So, yeah...

Oh, yes! On Sunday we will have our first “Quest” event, which is an opportunity for students who want to learn more about Christ can come, learn, ask questions, and be introduced to more Thai believers. Please help us as we cover this event in prayer and advertise it for our students this week.

Thanks all.
Much love,
