First Day of School!

That’s right! This morning we woke up, got on a bus, and went to school. For now, we will ignore the fact that it was 11:30 am. In all honesty though, we were ready to go by 10- but we ate toast and Nutella (my new favorite breakfast!) and watched episodes of Friends in Kaitlyn’s room for about an hour. Then we got the call we were waiting for, and headed out. That was probably the most fun day of school I have ever had in my entire life. Except maybe the day my Bio class went to the Primate Sanctuary. Anyway. We took the bus to Ekami (I know I spelled that wrong, but I don’t know how to really spell it) and went to Alan and Lynette’s house. When we got there, we ordered food from the restaurant downstairs ( I think my favorite meal yet), and then started in on the material. The first course we are working on is Missiology- currently working on defining what missions means; not only to us, but to the local church, supporting churches, and the church as a body. So we talked about that for the most part, mixed with stories and experiences that Alan shared. It didn’t feel like 3 hours at all, it went by so fast. Then came the scary part- riding the bus alone! We hadn’t ridden the bus back to Ramkhamhaeng yet, but we knew the general idea, so Alan walked us to the bus to make sure we got the right one and then we hopped on. We were going the direction that the traffic was, so it took a while, but it was fun to sit back and watch everything. We hopped off at Bangkapi mall, and decided to watch a movie for the evening. We grabbed some pretzels and ice cream for dinner, and wasted a little bit of time while we waited for Harry Potter. I haven’t seen any of the other movies or read any of the books, but it was a pretty good movie on it’s own, in my opinion. I totally missed any references to other situations outside of the movie, but it was better than I thought it would be.

Tomorrow we are going with Weldyn and Barb to the Grand Palace, which I am super excited for. Thailand has the world’s longest reigning monarchy, so you can imagine the history around that place. And with the Queen’s birthday so close, it should be fun to see what all is going on. I’ll try to take lots of pictures, and post them up here when we get back.

Have a fantastic day everybody!
