Thailand Post 2

Hello Everyone!
The trip is going great so far, we are now about a third of the way through it. Our team spent the last 5 days or so in the south of the country in a town called Takua Pa; it was hit pretty bad by the tsunami so we were helping out at a ministry there that was started up by a Thai man by the name of Pastor Wasan. They have planted a church there and it is doing pretty well. They are having a hard time getting support though for the ministry because the tsunami is now on the back of people's minds though it is still a thing that needs attention. There were 3 interns there, Eak, Jon and Om, they were pretty awesome; we had a lot of fun with them.
We spent most the time doing projects here and there for Pastor Wasan, and it was hard at times, but all-in-all it was pretty laid back because Thai culture does this wonderful thing where they work for a while, rest for a while, then maybe work again, or maybe just talk. :)
Last saturday we worked with kids, just hanging out and having fun with them; they were all so great and beautiful.
On sunday we hung out with the kids before church then had church with them and about 6 or 8 adults; as a team we shared our testimonies and played a couple of songs, it went really well for not really being planned all that extensively.
We went swimming in the Andaman sea and got a couple little stings from jellyfish, it was awesome!
We also went down to Phang nga bay which is one of the main tourist things, it was really pretty.
We hope that all of you are doing fine back home and we look forward to seeing you in a couple weeks.
Adios!
