We got to our pastors house in the morning and led a bible study for some thai girls at night (our translator is sweet so it works actually pretty well ) then the next morning we did 2 performances at a school (skits, testimonies, games) these wet pretty well although since our plans change so spiratically here, everything was on the fly but hey its made it kinda fun and interesting lol. ok and this is were it gets good. so wednesday night we drove up to the mountains to where there are hill tribes and did a performance for them at night. then we slept in a little hut on the hard ground with no pillow. oh and squatty potties? most def. cold bucket showers? oh heck yeah. theyre actually not too bad surprisingly. and the food they fed us was seriously grown right on the mountain we were living on..rice for breakfast lunch and dinner? yuupppp. the foods all been super good though just bc its alot of veggies and organice although its left me crying at several meals because its so spicy. ok so anyways the next morning we packed up and went to another hill tribe about 2 hours away ( oh and did i mention that our transportain is riding in the back of a truck? its fricken sweet especially through the mountain bc the views are so gorgoues. it kinda hurts though when it rains (which is everyday) but whatev. so then at this hill tribe we went on a walk and passed a hut that was full out roasting and skinning a pig..yeah then we ate in this hut for dinner (no joke it was a tree house..yes i feel like im in a movie since everything is so surreal but fricken awesome) and discoverd that the pork we were eating was the same one we saw earlier since we were theyre honored guests! then that night we did another performance for them (we needed 2 translators since they speak theyre own tribe language, not thai) and then left to go to our 3rd hill tribe the next morning. this place was like a boarding school kinda for kids and i got to play soccer with the boys for the first time in like 4 years! it was so fun bc the guys were super legit at soccer but i actually found i wasnt too bad so they actaully passed it to me every once in a while lol. oh and i dont think iv ever sweat so much in my life just bc its so hot. i got to play ping pong too! reigning champ? yup. i think so. and yes, even this made me drip sweat lol. they guys in my group decided they should give me a chinese name bc thatd be fitting with my abilities lol. then we did another performance for them at night and i gave a testimony about confidence and finding my idently in chirst and one of the girls came up to me after and told me that she really appreciated my story and that shed remember it forever. it was so encouraging to hear. the next day we went to this camp where Compassion sponswered kids come and play and we played with them for a little while. it was so cool to be able to actually play with the kids after sponsering one last year. then we went to this monkey cave thing and came within a foot of like 50 wild monkeys. it was sweet bc some of them were babies (wayyy better tahn the zoo) but they were fricken vicious, especially since they were like all buddhitst monkeys im prety sure as there are temples and staues every where..its kinda creepy. but yeah then we came back to our chruch were staying at and pretty much all crashed. like i said longest, craziest week of my life. but it was super cool to live the hill tribe life style and also at some of the houses we saw miracles as once lady couldnt move here arm and after we prayed for her could! and another lady was def and could hear after we prayed for her! it was so cool. but yeah the people here are so nice and hospitable..and if you want a good view of my scenery, just watch rambo lol.
