Lately...

This morning we went to the temple to watch people give food to the monks & do all the chants and stuff. It was very very sad, broke my heart. These people are spread out across this huge floor and bowing down to an idol. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was so upsetting. Especially because we went with our friend and watched her and her whole family do it.
After that we went to their home in the village. They live on a farm, it was really fun. They raise pigs so we saw those... and we took a walk to the rice field. Oh, and for lunch we sat on this bamboo thing a couple feet from the ground and I ate a bunch of crazy food. Including.... MY FIRST BUG! Yes, I did it.. I ate a 6 leg insect that they called 'delicious'... it was worse than the eyeball. I almost threw up! But I did it! FUSION here I come ;)
After we came home Vicki and I went to get our nails done, they look SO awesome and we had a really great time. On the way back we got hit by a motorcy. It was super scary but the Lord protected us, and the guy who hit us. Praise be to Him for keeping us safe! Next up for tonight, ordering pizza and spending the night relaxing as a family. I feel so at home here, it'll be hard to leave Vicki. She is so encouraging to me and I'm learning so much! :) Thank you everyone who helped me get here, and are praying me through this trip!...
  • Answered prayer: Popes did great in surgery! God is SO awesome!! Jeremiah 29: 12-13 :)
  • Prayer request: Benz' family. They need Jesus. And Benz' heart, he needs direction!
  • Blessing: got to talk to mom last night, along with chatting with Kent a few times! :) So good to hear from home.

  1. it was so good to chat with you honey...STOP EATING BUGS!! I'm so thankful that you and Vicki weren't hurt and that you and her are having such a great time together. She is a blessing to me as well. I remember going to the temple when we were there. It is so sad. Probably even sadder that it was someone you know, huh? And yes we will continue to pray for Benz. Hope to hear from you again soon! Love and miss you!
