So, no theme here just spittin whatever comes up.
We are living above a chinese church, doing life with an Indian pastor. We eat breakfast, strawberry and chocolate wafflewiches or whatever middle you prefer, at a gas station run by malaysian muslims. What the ef?!
It’s so weird seein 3 different people groups live together. The only other integrated place i’ve been was transylvania where romanians and hungarians lived together. After ten months of seein one people group in one area has been engrained in me and now it’s weird to see different people together.
I know i know, america is the biggest melting pot of the world, but this is different. These people know what they believe, have their own traditions, own ways of raising family, and so forth. I feel like a lot of america has literally started to melt, and our cultures are melting into one. Here, there’s a definite difference between the three groups, they all still speak their homeland tongue, or a dialect of it. After spending a month in China, I can speak mandarin, even though i only know I love you and strawberry icecream, with the Chinese. Pretty cool stuff.
Also, another cool thing. Glee just covered Rebecca Black’s Friday!!!! Pretty awesome. We had manistry last month in thailand and yes, Friday made it to us in the jungle in thailand. We played this every friday morning as soon as we wake up. We’ll probably continue to play it every friday morning until the end of the race. Pretty good stuff. I don’t know if glee’s version beats Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, and Taylor Hick’s version though.
God’s downloadin a lotta stuff on me right now, maybe i’ll do a blog about that later. we’ll see!
I almost forgot. Osama was killed a week or two ago… Pretty crazy blog written by one of our team leaders, Sammi Moor! Pretty sick stuff! In awe of the grace, love, and mercy our Father can extend.
