It's been a while....

Did ya miss me?

We don't have easily accessed WiFi in our new hotel, so we have to come use regular computers in the office.

So we have some catching up to do!
Sunday night we went the the Sunday Night Market, which is a whole kilometer of vendors. Guess what that means... bartering! I love it! Over the past two days, in two markets, I have got almost everyone at least one or two presents. Except Dad... if you're reading this, you need to understand how hard you are to shop for :) So we walked around the night market for about an hour, then took a Songtau (poor phonetic spelling, sorry) back to our hotel.
 On Monday mid-morning, we switched hotels to stay with Weldyn and Barb, our professors from Northwest. We are now at a super swanky hotel, which is only about $89 a night (SWEET!).The funny thing is though, is that we've had the hardest time staying here. First off, this place is super duper high end. Like.... bathrobes in the closet, minibars in each room, fresh roses on the pillows every night, heavy gold curtains on all windows, biggest towels you've seen in your life... yeah.... Anyway. We woke up this morning with bug bites all over our legs and arms. I have 19 on my legs alone. Ridiculous. After a little bit of exploring, we found ants in our beds. Yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck. We're not sure if they were in the roses, or just in the room, but yeah. It was gross. So they switched us to another room this morning. Not 5 minutes after getting there, the power in our room went out,and the maintenance guy had to come crawl around our ceiling and fix stuff.

But still, its a freaking awesome hotel. Pool, awesome gym, sauna, super close to the night market, all that jazz. We have one more night here, then back to Bangkok. I'm kind of torn, cause I love it here, but I also miss being in Bangkok, at APSAI, and Thai lessons. I'm excited to get back to real life.

Isn't that funny that Bangkok is real life to me right now? So weird.

Sorry. Anyway. I have some potentially super duper duper exciting news.. .but I'm going to hold off on announcing it until its for sure. But please pray for guidance, and good decisions in this.

Also, while we're at it, please pray for our ministry back home; we have been working with a few Muslim communities for a while now, and we would love to have the chance to get deeper with some people. In Alan's words; we need seekers. People who know that this isn't all there is to life, and recognize it in us. We need them to be comfortable coming to talk to us, and have people who can't be content without Jesus in their lives.

Thanks!
