Getting Into the Swing of Things







Alright so I know it's been WAY too long since my last post. I'm getting into the DTS groove and am getting more acclimated to the weather. THANK GOD! I am still a prime target for mosquitos though, and that's been less than amazing. I've also had a few attacks of homesickness this past week. I just miss everyone so much! I put a few pictures at the top of the blog this time because I don't really have the picture posting down yet and my last blog ended up having an extra 12 inches at the end and I don't know how it happened!
The picture in the top left hand corner is Eve the DTS director and me when I gave my chapel talk last Thursday morning. I spoke on God's grace. Having a translator is strange but it's a handy way to recollect your thoughts! The top right picture is all of us loading up to spend the morning practicing listening to God in the park, which was what our 2nd week of lectures was about. Next picture is us all running in the university square at 6:30 IN THE MORNING. And lastly, (my personal favorite) us girls undoing all of our running with some homemade fudge! YUM!
So this coming Sunday we'll be leaving Thailand to spend two weeks doing a mini outreach in Cambodia! I'm excited but a little nervous. I NEVER dreamed I'd be going to Cambodia! Please keep us all in your prayers as we prepare for this outreach. I don't know if I'll be able to blog while I'm there, but I'm bringing my computer and assuming I can. To prepare for the outreach, we learned two dances to perform. One is a traditional Thai dance (VERY fun) and the other is a hip-hop dance (not so much). The Thai dance is beautiful and the song we do it to is a Thai worship song. I'll have to bring home a copy for everyone to hear.
Well, I guess that's all for now. I'll try to post some more pictures before I leave and if I can't use my computer in Cambodia, I'll make sure to take notes so I remember all my stories!
P.S. To all my dear friends...I want to hear about your lives too! Keep me posted on them because I miss you all very much and don't much care for being out of the loop:)

  1. Hello Pooh: running around the university square at 630AM...the excercise i get is walking around adriane&conrad's "park" surrounding their home. we cut about 55 bales of grass - for the party it was grand. it is good seeing you with your dts friends. it is really you, hard to believe isn't it. mom and i will probably watch the killing fields to remind us about cambodia. I pray every day to protect you; your physical being and your loving/tender heart. thanks for a great father's day. i love you, anonymousdad
