I am back in Thailand! I’ve had team changes and I am now a part of Selah, a team of 8 girls in total.
It’s quite the change from the five (then four for a month) people that I lived with for the first 5 months of the race.
We live in a small town, an hour and a half from the grocery store and five hours away from Chaing Mai.
There are ice cold bucket showers with dirty water, sleeping pads, no refrigerator, and squaty potties galore (wow I’m excited for real toilets).
We teach at a local Buddhist school, I teach with another one of my teammates we teach 30 kindergarteners and preschoolers all day.
It is exhausting but so fun to get to love on little kids who don’t get a lot of love at home.
The lord is teaching me what it means to just have a relationship with him, to not be on a mountain top and still pursue him and find joy.
The lord is teaching me that sometimes it’s okay to be in a valley, that it’s okay to not be okay because he doesn’t demand perfection. But that I am his perfection.
Peace out,
Elli
