The Harvest is Plentiful

 Week 2 went by so fast. It felt like three days had gone by when Saturday came around. I wish it would slow down! This week we had the privilege to celebrate Beauty's birthday. It was so fun to eat dinner, play games, sing songs and have such a fun time together. I've learned two new card games that I will bring back to the states. We also had amazing brownies and cake. Good for my tastebuds. Bad for acid reflux.
Saturday we had the privilige of visiting a Buddhist temple in downtown Khon Kean. It was very beautiful-9 floors high. Alot of statues, paintings, and instruments that represented their culture. It was cool to get a better perspective of their religion. It also is such a good way to just be with the Thai students and ask them questions and just show them love as best as we can. Afterwards, we went to lunch at the mall and had such a fun time watching the shows, dancing, and singing that were going on. I actually got a picture with a kind of famous popstar there, Mac. I only liked his music because he sang Justin Bieber.
Sunday was such a wonderful day of worship and fellowship with the team. At church we learned the importance of brokeness and the blessings that come from it. Brokeness leads to deeper love and deeper worship. You can see God a little bit clearer. After,We played sports, went to dinner, and watched the Goonies late at night.
I love my team more and more every day. I am so encouraged by their encouragement, joy, and love for the Lord. It makes me so happy. This coming week we are going to be encouraging our ministry partners and just trying to be faithful to where the Lord wants us to be. Each week brings new excitement. Thanks for reading and your prayers.

Prayers would be just to be faithful to God's plan. Loving and serving more than ever.

No new words in Thai. fail.
