Hello everyone I have made it to Asia! I am currently living in a village called Maeai three hours north of Chang Mai surrounded my many rice fields. It by far has the most beautiful fields and sunrises I have ever seen. My team mate Cathrin and I are living with a Buddhist family which has been very interesting ,in fact for breakfast their was a big bowl of locusts waiting for us! Hahaha yummy!!!!!
Our host mother is Mali and her son pie, I have grown very close to these two and by far are my favorite contacts we have lived with on the race. While we are here our goal is to build relationships with these people and show them the love of christ. We are doing a lot of labor work and whatever we can do to honor their families.
No matter how much I work and love them, I always feel repaid times ten. These people live to see others happy and enjoying themselves. They definitely are teaching me how to love my neighbor better than myself! When I first walked in to Mali’s home , the first thing she saw was my skin infection on my feet, grabbed cream and started rubbing them when she hadn't even met me yet!!! She didn't even think it was gross!
Prayer is so important this month, we are talking generations and generations of worshiping buddha and false gods. 1% are christians in Asia, I am constantly interceding and prayer walking through the days. My heart is set on Mali, she is different than the other women in the village, she loves hugging and being affectionate. She is constantly serving and laughing, she is one of the most joyful loving people I have ever met. My question? Where is this love coming from? Many world Racers have lived in her home before us and Have planted many seeds here. I know she will come to know christ in her heart and break her Buddha shrine in her yard. When? I have no idea but i know god is working in her and has a plan. Im so honored to be apart of it and apart of her story!
Please pray for Mali and her family, my tonsils and skin infection on my feet! Love you all!
