Well...We got to Bangkok Wednesday night and spent the night at the church building there...
We woke up at five on Thursday morning to go to a park with Larry Henderson. By the time we got there at six, there were already soooooo many people up and around exercising, doing aerobics, walking, jogging, some sun-worshiping, and selling various foods by the side of the road...
After spending the morning chilling in Bangkok, we flew to Chiang Mai, where we were very warmly greeted by a whole bunch of people from the church here. Then we unpacked, played some crazy intense Nertz, ate yummy sticky rice and had a cell group meeting....
And then we went to bed at nine, extremely tired...
Today was the first day of orientation for the summer interns, so we've just been learning about some cultural stuff and what we're doing this summer...and getting to know other interns and apprentices here....
So...things are great here! I've had a lot of delicious food, met a lot of cool people, and had a lot of fun!
And...I know (or think I know) how to say apple, banana, cute, hello, thank you, chicken, rice, handsome, very, and delicious...you know, all the useful words!
oooh and we've had two different new types of fruit since we've been here...and they were both very wonderful!
So, don't worry about me starving this summer... : P

Hey friend! I'm glad you've had a good Friday... my Friday is just beginning! I might go to the doctor since my throat's still hurting, but nothing too exciting is happening. Have fun learning Thai!
Yay for interesting foods and experiences! Sounds like you're having fun so far! Good luck with all your orientation stuff.
Love you!
Food sounds good. Hey Zach and I had an interesting meal the other day. We had corn with mac and cheese but then I decided that we needed a fruit and I wanted fresh pineapple... so when everything was done our plates were very yellow and I wouldn't suggest mixing the flavors. They were best when separated.
We are curious. How was Sunday? Kelsey is here, and had a good first day of class... We ALL miss you!

Glad you got there safe! Sorry I took so long to comment, I've been having issues with getting to the comment page. Silly internet. Nertz in Thailand, nice. Keep learning those useful words! You need to work on some phrases like "It's a beautiful day!" and "Buckle-up for safety!".
Are you STILL alive in Thailand?? I hope you are having so much fun there....
Love you lots!
