New Location

I am no longer in Lop Buri (the hottest place in the WHOLE WORLD), but have made my journey slightly south and have ended up in Chon Buri.

I left Beth's house this morning (boo hoo...had a great visit with her) in an attempt to head to Bangkok, and before I knew it there was a lady who grabbed my arm (she had quite the grip on me) and stuck me on a bus. I wasn't entirely sure that it was going to Bangkok (where I needed to go), but I went with it anyway. I did end up there, and found my way to the other bus station that I needed to go to (not without getting ripped off by a motorcycle taxi first) and then caught my bus to Chon Buri. In my conversations with the people here, they told me a bit of Thai that I needed to know in order to get where I needed to go, but I don't think it worked. I ended up in some strange part of this giant city, and then I got stuck on this random song tao that basically, in the end took me to where I needed to go. It was quite amazing and quite the adventure!

I am now in BangSaen (near Chon Buri) staying with some MBMSI folk...I have a few days of coffee and supper lined up with them, and just seeing how these folks live and do life here. For those of you that went to Mexico, Tim and Robin are here (he was the worship leader and she shared her testimony). I didn't expect to see them, and I walked in and there they were!!! Really strange, and really cool.

So I am going to be here for a few days, and then I might be in Bangkok for a few days, and then will be heading south to Khao Lak for the remainder of my time here. I can't wait to go back!!! I have heard that there have been some major changes since last year. That will be so neat to see!!! Anyway, I must be going. I am going to take a walk to the beach and maybe get myself some bubble tea. Love you lots and lots. Thanks for your prayer and encouragement.

I guess what you could pray for while I am here is some direction and clarity concerning my future involvement with this organization. I am going to be meeting with someone tonight to pray and talk through some of this stuff.
