You Guessed It!

 I never would have guessed that:

 

• There would be a month on the Race where I get my own room with my own bathroom! That a mirror, hot shower and wifi would be available to me daily. 

• I could walk to Subway, KFC, Pizza Hut or Burger King if I wanted, but never actually go to any of them. 

• I would choose the cheap, authentic street food over the pricy American food.

• I would have a morning routine that included walking to my favorite bakery to sit, drink coffee and look over the park.

• My ministry for the month would consist of meeting people in bars, coffee shops and parks and simply talking to them for hours. 

• The Vietnamese would be the friendliest people I have met thus far on the Race. 

• You can meet someone in the park who wants you to pay them to paint your nails, and end up having lunch with them two days in a row.

• I would be jealous of the teams that had to travel far away for ministry, because they get to live in cold weather for the month. 

• The most closed country on our race would be the one with the most Christmas decorations.

• I would be moved to tears by sitting in an English speaking church, with a Christmas tree, listening to Oh Holy Night. 

• Crossing the street would be my favorite daily game. 

• The scariest thing to see on the street would be a white person driving a moped. 

• The largest city I have lived in thus far (Ho Chi Minh) would be where I get the most alone time.

• The only time I care enough to get up and actually do something about the mouse in my room is when it climbs on my bed. 

• After a year and 3 months, the Lord would help me raise $15,500 to be fully funded on the World Race!!!!!
