One month Update

I've officially been in Thailand for One Month. Yes, it's hard to believe it's gone by so fast.

Here's some of the "only in Thailand" I've experienced:

* Being smelled by 3 kids (apparently parents smell their kids like Americans kiss their babies for affection)

* Accidently peeing on my sock (hey those squatty potties can be tricky)

* Missing cinnamon sugar toast and accidently making red pepper equal toast--the best part was the brown spice didn't smell like cinnamon or taste like cinnamon, but somehow I convinced my self it WAS cinnamon and throughly enjoyed my red pepper equal toast.

* Making lunch one day at home when kids came in and devoured my lunch before I could say anything (It was actually a good time with the kids and I really couldn't be upset --given thier guardians has most likely gambled away their food money. )

* Buying a rat trap on the year of the rat on Chinesse New Year

*Meeting my neighbors and practicing my language with them---Thankfully Thai's laugh a lot

*Eating fish stomach soup, encountering a huge spider with an even larger egg sack, and making friends with rats :)

* Praying every day for my life on the Green 71 busses as they drive like thier motorcycle drivers and yet they are busses. ( I thought I got whip lash one day)

* Being in the presense of Jesus--one encouaragement God gave me after one day of being homesickness was the image of a superhero cape. It was like a banner of God's love covering me and covering my community. There is power when I pray, There is supernatural power when I am under God's love and being an example of God's love to others. There is power in the Cape of God's love.

Here's to many more great months!!!!--Love ya family and friends
