splash!

started our day with a longgg ride on a songthaew becos the driver got lost while on our way to pick up the americans from their hostel. didn't help tt the weather was really hot...we were supposed to shop around ban tawai but after walking abt for only a short while, we decided to leave tt place becos of the weather.

was really encouraged over lunch tho. you know, i really marvel at how much courage these young ppl my age have, esp rebecca who has been here for 3 months on her own, just to find out if she has a calling to be a missionary. and then there's amber & jamie, who know each other even before their trip, but each signed up for this trip without expecting or knowing tt the other would go along. turned out tt amber was praying for a partner and by God's grace, jamie was His answer to prayer. really, wat a plunge of faith they've taken! and c'mon...it takes them what, 22 hours by plane to get here?! and tt's not even including the train ride...

anyway, guess wat? after 6 days here, i finally see a swimming pool! before we left the home today, sis pat actually told us to bring an extra set of clothes and towel each, cos george (or uncle george - feels weird just calling him by name actually.) might be taking us to a waterfall for a dip. but anyway...we ended up at a resort and honestly, as much as i wanted to swim, i was really scared i'd be asked to get out of the water becos i hadn't had my swiming costume on. and well, this is prolly the first time i swam in a pool with my clothes...and the first time i got thrown in.

well, just very thankful to God for the company of these wonderful ppl. it's been a pretty enjoyable day with them. and of cos...thank God for safety (and strong arms, heeheehee), esp when i stood on the outside of the songthaew on one ride up the mountain :D wonder what mommy will say if she hears of this...lol
