Taking off where I last left…

So although I am sad and miss the team mucho, excited for these next few weeks to really spend the time expanding more in the city and spending more time with Jess and what she does here. So we came to her house, which I wanted to share some pics of her quaint place. It’s so peaceful here and she has lived here in the house for 3 years, praying consistently and worshipping. You can seriously feel the difference from the hotel where there was a lot of chaos and heaviness, to this sweet abode. I am feeling very relaxed, and slept great!

Hung out here for a bit and, caught up with where we last left off in December and also had her share where she is at in vision and what the big picture looks like here. So we are going to try to set aside some time to really work on some communication together to help express better what she is called to and focusing on here and communicate with people back home. So I will be sharing obviously my experiences here through the blog, but also be intentional to blog things that are typical things Jess deals with here in this culture and gives some light to what it takes to be here, especially as a single woman wanting to see revival! She is amazing at connecting with so many ministries and working together in unity, so it’s been awesome already having a week of meeting and working with many of these ministries already and seeing what they are called to and going after.

We then too a trip to the local market to get some vegetables for dinner we were invited to have with a family. The market reminded me of Oaxaca. So many vegetable venders all selling the same things. It’s definitely overwhelming to know who to pick from, but was laughing as Jess quickly zipped in and out of venders blabbering Thai and grabbing single items. I am enjoying the freshness of food here, and learning what is good and what is…not so good. I snapped a few pics… (p.s. they put all their spices and eggs and like garlic in these baggies and blow them up. I asked Jess, why, and she said it was complicated in that the air preserves them better…I guess!)

Then went back to the house, grabbed our laundry and headed over the families house to do some laundry and eat. They run a ministry here which I have to be more disclosed discussing, but they live in Thailand and distribute Bibles to tourist that come in to take back to their countries where many don’t have access or allowed to have bibles. It was good just hanging with them and their kids and even seeing what an American family life looks like here as missionaries.

Came home, which I was starting to really feel the exhaustion hit and feeling some sinus pressure, finished up some blog stuff and was out cold. Here's my stuff taking over her room...haha!

Got to sleep in a bit, while Jess woke up and got some of her usual stuff done early, and did some calls, and now just hanging out till language school in a few hours. Eek! It will be interesting. The language is so freaking hard here with all the tones and different ways to say words. Fortunately Thai people are so nice and just laugh at you! More to come…
