Today we went on a jungle excursion! We took a field trip with all the kids to hike through tropical trails and rivers. It was amazing to see so much of God's green creation and get some needed exercise. It wasn't an easy hike, but I'm proud to say our entire team trekked it well. Praise God for keeping us safe from leeches, snakes or other wildlife. However, as the title of the post implies, with the fun came lots of sun; and many of the team members are a little burnt.
I put on lots of sunscreen, but i missed a spot and thus i am left with this minor burn and awesome tan line:
But anyway, as of right now we're packing up and getting ready to go for our next half of the trip into Chiang Mai. It's a bittersweet feeling because we will definitely miss all these new brothers and sisters in Christ that we have met, yet I am excited to reunite with Thailand Campus Crusade tomorrow. This past week, the people here have been so hospitable with us as their guests. I am overwhelmed by their graciousness despite their limited resources. They are definitely doing God's work here and their love is evident to all in the community.
And now a few prayer requests:
1) Safety in our 4 hour car trip to Chiang Mai
2) Healing from various ailments for our entire team. Sunburns, canker sores, bug bites. Also please especially pray for Steph's ankle as she suffered a mild sprain from a fall the other day.
3) Energy in the transition of the next portion of our trip to work with Campus Crusade
4) Boldness in evangelism, that we would not be ashamed of the gospel.
Thanks!
J.Joe
