Bangkok & Bumble Bees

So we're on a scavenger hunt all over Bangkok right now and one of our stops on the list is to go to this internet/coffee cafe called "Bloom" to write a quick note to someone back home. I chose the blog cuz it reaches everyone! Obviously we got here safely from Brisbane. We got off the plane, hopped on a "song taw" (which is a truck that has benches and an overhang in the back with poles to hold on to) and arrived at YWAM thailand-bankok. Relaxed a bit before we strolled into the marketplace where we danced & ate fried bugs. Not kidding. I ate a bee. Almost threw up but I did it. The guys ate handfulls of grasshoppers, maggots, thick fat worms, and who knows what else!! This culture is so different so we had orientation this morning led by a man named Paw whose role is to introduce the foreigners to Thai culture. Thailand is amazingly inexpensive and hot. I'm obsessed with Thai food. They LOVE fair skin and greet eachother with a "sawatdee-ka" hands together and a head bow. Only 1 % of the entire population declares themselves Christians, while 94% are Buddhist. God's work through different YWAM ministries is clear and I couldn't be more excited right now for the next 2 months!! We have a temple tour tomorrow in Bangkok and then a 13 hour bus ride north to Chiang Mai. I already have so many stories to tell but this will have to do for now because we have to continue our scavenger hunt.
Thanks for your prayers. Also, pray for healing for Tiffany's cold and Bryan's hip :) love you all!
