 I’ll be spending the month of April in the beautiful western farm country of Thailand. Twenty of us men are working with a Thai couple who is setting up a YWAM (Youth With a Mission, Christian organization) base in a rural community. Our work so far has consisted of planting Kasava, a plant that is later processed into Tapioca pudding.


Here is a Kasava root that we stick into the ground.

So far we have planted a few fields of the plant.

The fields typically look like this. Just over the mountains is the country of Myanmar or Burma as we call it..

After planting the Kasava we have been privileged to gather massive amount of goat feces and spread them amongst the plants as fertilizer.

Work has been strenuous and tiring forcing all of us to hit the sack early every night but I have enjoyed every second of it. Life really does just slow down on a farm making it easy to reflect on God.
 
Conversations amongst the men here have ranged from lighthearted and funny to intensely deep and enlightening. I love doing life with the people around me.

I am really taken back by the number of great friends I’ve aquired  along the way. 

 
On our day off I was able to make even more new friends. They are pretty wild. 
 

More detailed posts about Thailand coming soon.
