The Holidays

So these holidays have been very different from any other holiday I've experienced but it's been really good. Some highlights of my trip to Indonesia are going to a safari, going to a studio to play drums (I miss the drums!), going to a friend's wedding, meeting so many amazing people, and much more. Brian and I got to speak to students at UNAI, the Adventist University in Indonesia, about being a missionary. I've done a lot in Indonesia and in a few days I go back to Thailand to meet up with the rest of our group. It's kinda sad to leave Indo because there is so much to do here but it's time to get back to work. It's hard to post pictures here because of the internet situation but I posted 3 so far and I'm working on some more. I miss everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

Indonesia

Hey everybody!!! I think I've found a new favorite country.  I love Indonesia, it's awesome in every way.  The food, the people, the scenery; it just keeps getting better and better.  Brian and I flew in last friday and we've been here for about a week so far.  We have been staying at people's houses the whole time.  Right now we're at a University in Bandung and we talked to a few groups of students about being a missionary.  It's hot in the city but now we're in the mountains so the weather is more tolerable.  The rest of our group went to Cambodia today so we'll meet up with them in about a month or so.  I will post pictures as soon as I get them off my camera.  I will update soon!

Back to Civilization

Hey everyone! I'm back in Chiang Mai now and the past month has been really awesome.  We lived in a little Karen village and I definitely saw a lot there. I got to do some cool stuff while we were there. We harvested rice and peanuts, went on an elephant trek, constantly ate with our hands (Karen custom), and met a lot of people.  Even though I can't speak to most of the people I meet, after spending a month with them it feels like I know them.  So me and Brian got back last night.  We've been editing nonstop the past few weeks.  I've finished 2 episodes of the TV show and a promotional video.  I'll try to post some of it but I'm not sure if it'll work.  So my visa expires on Saturday so I have to be out of the country by then. Brian and I have a flight booked to Indonesia but I don't know if that'll work out.  The airport in Bangkok is shut down and they don't know when it will open back up.  If it doesn't open then we'll have to go to Cambodia.  So pray that I can go to Indonesia!!! I miss everyone at home, especially with the holiday season now. Christmas definitely won't be the same. No snow this year!!!!!! Ok I'm gonna try to post some pictures and write some more sometime soon! Thanks for reading friends!
