courage is fear that has said it's prayers

Wednesday, December 14 ; 12:06:00 AM♥

We had team devotional at 8 in the morning. The devotion was done by Shermaine and songs were led by Jeremy. Both of them did a very great job.

We had ‘jok’, Thai porridge, for breakfast at a stall near the moat. Then, we went to the waterfall for our own quiet time. We were given about half an hour to do our own devotions. Next, both the interns, Yan Ming and Reagan (from PJ church in Malaysia) shared about what they had learnt for the Purpose Driven Life book. It was a wonderful experience for us to be able to do devotions by the waterfall and also to hear what the interns had been learning over the past month. We proceeded back to the trucks. On our way down from the waterfall area, we came across stalls that sold fried insects (cockroaches, bats, worms, etc). Some of us tried the fried mealworms. It tasted ok except that it was quite powdery.

Lunch was at a stall that sold ‘khao soi’, Thai noodles with curry. After lunch, we came back to the Christian zone to get ready for the talent show at night. We had about 2 to 3 hours to prepare. Every group was busy preparing their items (except for some who still continued playing ping-pong). Ping-pong has become the most-loved game here.

The Thais prepared dinner for us. Pieces of chicken and pork were barbequed. And we ate it with sticky rice. A different way of having barbeque, and it was delicious. Talent show was up next.
