Oh my goodness I never would have thought it could get this cold here. In the mornings and at night I actually have to wear a sweatshirt! It's very disappointing, but what can you do..
On Friday night I got to go to Loi Kratong and float a flower boat thingy down the river with P'Bow:). They usually have lit candles on them in honor of the dead, but we got two without candles and instead of praying for the dead we prayed for the Thai people and that there would be a huge revival in Thailand. The festival takes place over three days of the full moon of the twelfth lunar month, which is usually in November. Many people say it is the most colorful event of the year.
Very early Sunday morning, 3am, my group leaves on our first "trip". Please pray for us that we will be able to reach many people and really get through to them. Also, please pray for the other group who don't get to go with us because they don't have ID cards. They are not sure yet how they are going to get into the country that they are going to.. They are going completely on faith.
Today I have just been walking around the city praying for the people here and later tonight I get to go to a concert. I cannot thank you all enough for the support you have given me, financially and with your prayers. This has been and definitely will continue to be a life changing experience. I feel like I am a completely new person since getting here, and it's only halfway over. I will not be able to update again for two or three weeks. And after that I won't be able to until the end of the DTS. I can't express how much I love and miss you all and I really look forward to getting to see you guys again and tell you all about it.
