So, it's been a while since my last post. I spent six days at the church plant in Bangkoknoi and got to hear lots of inspiring stories and met some amazing people. I'm now at the church plant in Nonthaburi. It was a bit of an awkward start again, but the people are friendly here as well and eager to make me feel at home. They have no air conditioning here either and their shower is a barrel of water with a cup. It's not always easy to get accustomed to these different accommodations (I spent a good three to five minutes trying to figure out the toilet, which was basically a porcelain tray in the ground), but it's always an adventure! It's a little intimidating, but once I have conquered each new thing, it's not bad at all. It's my first time using a mosquito net at night as well. There are a lot more people who speak English here! I will only be here until Friday and then I am supposed to finally have an apartment! However, I probably won't have this posted until I am back at TAM since my laptop is unable to connect to the internet here. It hasn't been bad roaming from house to house and I will still be visiting church plants. It will be nice, though, to have a home base so I don't have to tote all of my stuff everywhere I go.
I'm still doing well. My spirits have been a little down lately, but I think it's just because everyone is getting to Southern this week. There has been stress with the equipment and learning to adapt to the different living conditions. I'm still having fun though and God is showing me new things every day! It helps a lot to hear back from everyone, so thank you all for your comments and notes of encouragement! I wish I could more accurately give you all an idea of what it's like here. I'm going to start posting videos and will probably have the first one or two up to accompany this post. Thanks for reading and God bless!
