We were asked to answer some questions for an article about our trip and this came to mind...
There was delicious Thai food, great friends, fun adventures, new smells, an amazing variety of exhausts from a never ending source of vehicles, breakfast with our team, 18 hours of flying, shopping in many different forms, living on the edge in a tuk-tuk, riding elephants, letting an elephant lift me with his trunk, eating the hottest food I’ve ever tasted, letting go of my everyday responsibilities and listening to God as He spoke, worshipping without a clock, seeing amazing ministries strive to change lives in tough circumstances, meeting people who quit their jobs to volunteer 6 months and serve the Lord giving Bibles to Chinese people, surviving Thai traffic, ice cream as the in flight snack on Japan Airlines, meeting a guy who trains Thai boxers to beat each other up so that he can share Christ with them, getting to know the people in our group better, seeing God answer prayer, being humbled by the generosity of those living in the slums buying us sodas, the whole ducks hanging in the food court, weary but excited by all that was going on, Swenson’s Ice Cream, running through the Tokyo airport, seeing the boys at the airport, bottled water, soda with a straw, iced tea in a bag, praying for the people receiving Bibles to turn to Christ for salvation, and so much more.
