So i made it through the overnight train...what an experience... very hot and bug-filled... but now i'm in chiang mai and will take off on a 3 day trek in the morning. Went shopping and walked around the old city a little this morning.
Right now, i'm sitting in The Travel Hub on the east side of the old city. If you're ever in the area, you can get all your technological needs met here. (www.travelhubchiangmai.com) And if you write about it in your blog, you get 3 hours of free internet access! lol...
So anyway, Nat H. and I have gone separate ways today, but are meeting up at one of the wats (buddhist temples) to go to "Monk Chat." We get to sitt around and ask about buddhism and monastic life, etc... Should be fun.
I am sooo thankful for Natalie H. I really do believe that God brought us together. She is 23, canadian, and just graduated with a degree in philosophy. We are having a great time laughing at things that would be terrifying alone!
Natalie is not a believer. She is very spiritual and says she comes from a 'buddhist orientation.' Not sure what that means, but she is definitely searching for God. Please pray that God will use me to show Jesus to her. She is asking me alot of questions about Christianity, and we have talked alot about God and meditation and spiritual things. She is very curious and open, so pray that God will give me the right words at the right times, but mostly that Christ will live through me and spill out onto her!
Thanks for the sweet comments! Love yáll! (i get made fun of for the ýa'll thing here... but nat h. is always saying éh?'...lol..)
oh i posted some pictures, but i'm not sure when they will show up. it may be tomorrow so check them out!
