10 Things I LOVE about THAILAND

1. I love Thai people! I feel very blessed to have such wonderful Thai friends.

2. I love all of the wonderful parks! My church goes almost every Sunday afternoon to the bicycle park. You can rent a bicycle for about $1.00 for the entire day and most of them have 2 seats so it is just fun to ride with a friend.

3. I love that a lot of Thai people speak English since my Thai is not very good :)

4. I love that almost everything in this big city is written in English too. I definitely don't know how to read Thai.

5. I love that God called me here and gives me a peace about it daily!

6. I love public transportation. Driving in Bangkok would be a nightmare but sitting on the bus with my IPOD is no problem. It is even better if you can ride the sky train or Metro here.

7. I love that there are so many things to do here! I should never be bored because there are always places to go and many of them free of charge:)

8. I love my Thai church here (Canaan Baptist Church). Everything is done in Thai so I don't understand a lot of it but I love the people/fellowship and music.

9. I love eating out here! It is so cheap to eat out that I hardly ever (pretty much never) cook at home. You can eat on the street for about $1-2.00 or you can even go to a fairly upscale restaurant for $7-10.00.

10. I love walking everywhere. I don't always get to exercise (run) like I would like to do but am glad that I get a lot of miles in daily just walking my every day life!

Blessings, Blessings, Blessings!

I know it has been a few weeks since my last post. I read my last few posts and think I should have waited to write something because it sounded so discouraging. I really do love it here and see God's hand at work daily. I feel very very very blessed.

I just recently got a new red couch and 2 chairs for my living room. I found some for a really good price and they delivered for free :) When I am finished decorating I will post pictures of my house. I also just got a new fridge :)!!!! Now I can make my very own ice!!!!!

The biggest blessing has been watching these University students who are believers grow and then share their faith with friends who aren't believers yet. Just this week 1 girl (Nice-who just became a believer this summer) did a Bible study with another student/friend (Jib) who is a seeker but hasn't accepted Christ yet. Nice was so excited to share her faith and she will also be leading our Monday night Bible study this week!

I have also been blessed with some wonderful close Thai friends! I got to celebrate my b-day Thai style---Thai style means you take your friends out to dinner and you get to pay :) A little different than the American way--ha ha! I took just 5 close friends to dinner since I was paying :) It was a lot of fun. I will include some pictures with this post for those of you who don't have facebook (you should really get it).

Thank you for being faithful to follow my journey in Thailand. It has been a great blessing!
