month one.

Alright, so I've been here one month officially today. Time to reflect.

The People.

The Thai people are so beautiful, I like making them smile :) My heart breaks when I walk down the street and think 99% of the people I pass don't know the beauty of Christ. Sometimes I get frustrated at the idea that I can't communicate it to them, but I really just have peace that this is exactly where I'm supposed to be and that God is still at work by my presence. So I pray for them and flash a smile :)

The farang (foreigners) I work with are phenomenal. Let's see if I can name all the countries represented by my co-workers, students and friends...France, Lithuania, Holland, India, Switzerland, China, England, Germany, US, Laos, Australia, I'm sure there's more I can't think of at the moment. Pretty neat, how people can come together and work for Christ. The kids are so much fun to be around and so beautiful. Their parents are wonderful as well...the work they're doing for the Lord here is incredible. Starting orphanages, helping the gospel spread,

My roommates are perfect. Stefanie from Colorado is super-caring, warm, funny and friendly.

Damaris (Acts 17:34) from Germany is super-independent, rides her bike when it's pouring, works super-hard at everything she does and makes me laugh when she does her "American" accent. She says we talk like we have a potato in our throat. hahaha!

Phet means "diamond" in Thai and she is exactly that. She is so beautiful, selfless, funny and wants to meet "a man from France who is at least 180 cm and 7 years older" than her.
