Today was amazing. I got to know some of my team better which was good. I'm so glad I did!
We went to a Thai church this morning. It was very Western style but all in Thai language. It was a little frustrating to not understand even a single word. I got awfully lost during the sermon, even though we had a translator. :( But it was super cool because in a country that has rejected God, you could see his every move in that place. He was so present. They also served a delicious lunch and we went and got coffee.
We then went to Deanna's which was fun to just chill. And then we did slum ministry. The sad thing about the slum is it lies right next to the police station and is right behind a wall of wealth. Our goal was to help them learn English. The hope is that the English that they learn will help them to leave that place. It really broke my heart to listen to Deanna talk about it because she loves them so much and it hasn't seemed to work yet. But, I believe that God is going to boom that ministry, even though the fruit hasn't bloomed yet. But you could tell in her that it broke her heart that the kids were growing up and not getting out. I definitely will be praying for them. The kids also made us all eat bugs. haha. Some of us ate crickets (which is what I ate) while others ate silk worms. :P lol. All in all, an amazing day. Filled with Jesus and so exciting. I love what we're doing here!
