Well, today we finally got our first real meal! We had fried rice, lettuce, and this potato curry stuff that was really spicy. For lunch we had papaya salad and a noodle dish. The papaya apparently is an aquired taste; I didn’t like it at all, but others loved it.
In today’s classes, we leaned about teaching people the health message in easy steps. Instead of New Start, we learned God’s Plan. It involves the same things, but instead of having trust in God at the end, it has Godly Trust at the beginning, the most important. Tonight we have more classes, which isn’t normal, but then again nothing here is! A group from Malaysia is here; they call themselves AENON. I don’t know what that stands for yet… Apparently they are going to help teach some of the health classes.
I did laundry yesterday for the first time. I had the luxury of using the washer here, but I won’t be able to use it again… Of course everything has to be air dried, and all my clothes now have this weird smell to them I guess from the air. Fortuanately, here in Thailand, no one cares.
Tomorrow morning I have to get up at 3:30 in order to shower, have devotions, and then go on kitchen crew. I’ll have to get used to getting up at such ungodly hours from now on… I’ll be getting some cooking practice in though, and since I’m don’t even know how to cook American food very well, this ought to be interesting!
Just something to pray about… The program here has some financial needs. They want to built a TV studio because they want to broadcast Christian TV nationally. They already have the permission and the land to build the studio on, but they lack funds to begin building. Just pray that God will impress upon people’s hearts to help out with this project. GB!
