u p d a t e

Hello to you all...I apologize I have been quite terrible at updating. I am still studying Thai in school, and will be in school until the middle of June... it is such a great blessing being able to live here in Bangkok, and if anything just being the presence of Jesus where ever I am. I am so grateful for what God has done so far, and am so excited to see what glorious things he will do in the future! We really do have an incredible team here, and I appreciate each one so much! It has been a good month, of interacting with my Thai friends, meeting new people, and being blessed by my team.
Sharon is so much better now, and after 3 weeks in the hospital, she is home and regaining her strength! Thank you for your prayers.

I do believe that the rainy season has arrived...although it normally doesn't arrive until next month. The rain has been such a relief to the heat. I find it lovely, especially in the evenings, I think there is nothing better than a lovely rain and good coffee. A perfect combination. Just as I am finishing writing this, I hear the sound of rain... yes!

I just posted more pictures!

Songkran

Songkran, a FUN Thai holiday marking the Thai New Year, has arrived! Schools and Businesses will be closed for about a week, and many people have gone back to their home provinces outside of Bangkok to celebrate. Everywhere on the streets, people throw water on each other! The timing is perfect, because we are in the midst of the hot season. I have only heard stories, so it will be fun experience all the water fights first hand. If it is anything like "Holi" a festival in India, that includes colored water and powder throwing, it will be fun. I have a feeling that Songkran will be not as dangerous, and a little more laid back!

I have already heard the shrieks, screams, and laughter from the streets......!
