This afternoon we found out we'll be leaving Bangkok tomorrow morning at 6:30 am to catch an 11 hour bus ride up to the northern part of Thailand. We're going to be staying at an orphanage outside of Mae Sot, which borders Burma. For our first half of our outreach we'll be helping out at the orphanage, digging wells, working alongside some schools, and partaking in ministry with some hill tribes. As people have been praying for our outreach they have received words such as "saturate." We are hoping for God to allow us to saturate people with love, joy, and truth.
Since arriving in Thailand we've had some time to rest and adjust to the time change. We are twelve hours ahead of Central Standard Time. We've also been introduced to the "squatty potty." The three rules we were given during our orientation were
1. Do not sit on it.
2. Do not jump on it.
3. Do not put toilet paper in it.
I'll let you figure out why these rules are so important.
Random Info:
-The currency in Thailand is the baht. 1 US dollar = 31 Baht
-We are all LOVING Thai food, and are attempting to master the chopsticks
-It is offensive to touch anyone on the head or to point the bottom of your foot at someone
