We continued with our activities with the Somprasong 4 church in Bangkok. It was a full day that ended with us witnessing the baptism of Ton, a young man who had been visiting the church. Ton met our team at the airport when we arrived and hung out with our group. We praise God for this new brother in ChristWe started the day with morning devotional. Keith and Evangeline were facilitators; and their texts were Mark 2:23-3:35 and Mark 4 respectively. After devotional, we went to a nearby coffee shop for breakfast. We headed back to the church building for another devotional - this time with the Thais. Aaron did sharing this time, and his topic was on faith.Scavenger Hunt was next and we were divided into 3 groups. We had to go round the city completing the list of tasks given. The list included things like getting bus tickets, used movie tickets, names of people who worked at Orange Chain Hotel and giving our invitation flyers. It ended about 1 pm and lunch was at a nearby coffee shop.After lunch, we had games with the youth from Somprasong church. We played using the same 3 group arrangements. The first game was a telematch and we had a few tasks to complete. First, we had to paint the face of our leader. Then a second team member had to use his teeth to fish a sweet out of a basin or water, run to the next station where he had to find a key from a plate of flour. The key was then used to unlock a message written on a piece of cardboard. A third team member had to do what the message said, which was to eat a bowl of noodles without using hands. The 4th team member then had to finish a cup of coke and then use the straw to transport water from a basin to a coke bottle. The last task was to blow a balloon, filled with flour, till it burst.Our 2nd game was a combination of the 3-legged race, and the game where people had to tie balloons around their ankles. We had to try and bust each other's balloons.The 3rd game was where we had to wear gunny sacks over our legs and try to catch people from the other teams before they reached their base.Our last game was water volleyball. We had 6 players on each side and had to pair up. Each pair had a towel and the water bomb was to be placed on the towel. The towel was then used to toss the bomb to the other side of the net.We had a bit of free time after the games, so we cleaned up and then had choir practice before dinner and worship. For worship, we had a song leader from Thailand and one from our team. Uncle Paul spoke. Then we had a song item for the Thais. It turned out fine, tough we were kind of nervous and jumpy. Great for a first time.Photo taking and mingling took place after worship. We thank Bao for organizing activities for us and we presented him with our Soy Milk t-shirt. We walked out to Pizza Company and had a supper treat! We went back for a short choir practice before we turned in.
