I’m not sure what it was about Thailand that captivated my heart. I had never been there, but I wanted to go. Now, I’m here. Thailand isn’t like any other place I’ve visited. Central America wasn’t too bad. I knew some Spanish from High School, I had been to Mexico before and kind of knew the culture, but Asia is a whole new ball game. Not only do I not know the language, I couldn’t even spell out words for you. While in Central America, everyone is about hugs and no sense of personal space; here it is no hugging or even touching the opposite sex.
Even though it is different… I love it. The ministry that we are at this month is so much fun. Every night we are going out and hanging out with skaters and break dancers. We are simply building community with them and telling them about the best part of our lives… some may call it evangelism. But these groups of people are amazing. I especially love the break dancers. They are patiently teaching us… (we aren’t gringos anymore) Americans how to break dance. I’ll be honest, I’m terrible. I can do this kick thing, but I look like I’m river dancing. Haha, but their passion for what they do is beautiful. Ever night these kids do something that they love, something that gives them freedom from the oppression at home and I get to be apart of it. I’m not sure where this ministry is going to go, but I’m excited to see what God has planned!
