Sawatdee kah! (hello in Thai). These are some pictures from our trip thus far.
Thailand is a Buddhist country, and this is a photo taken from a temple in Bangkok. The Thai believe that the type of tree that Buddah sat under when he was supposedly enlightened, has a special spirit inside of it that if they can appease by making offerings to it.
This is cute little Elliot Payne(one of the missionaries' kids) and Shannon (one of my teammates). They were pretending that Elliot was a rocket ship. He is so adorable :)
While in Bangkok, we took a boat ride around the city, and I just thought that this was really pretty. Bangkok is kind of like Venice, except stinkier and asian, because it has all these canals that run though out the city that people can get around on by boat......but they do have streets too!

There was an amazing rainbow that completely encircled the sun, I have never seen anything like it.

Sarah! i'm praying that you'll learn to do exactly what you're there to do. Just so you know, Venice is stinky too, but not asian. I was glad to get your e-mail, but was not sure if I could e-mail you back or not. Anyway, keep on rockin' extreme-style!
