Ok, so now that I'm back in Maui and over my jet lag, I think it's time to let everyone know what all I did the past two months.
Going back to Georgia for Christmas was really good. I got to spend a lot of quality time my family and some friends, although it's hard to hang out with everyone when you only have two weeks.
Christmas with the family was great, but far too short of a time to be at home.
On December 30th, I flew from Atlanta to Bangkok, and arrived there just before midnight on December 31. My friend Ben and I spent three days there so that I could get over jet lag and prepare for our insane travel schedule over the next 5 weeks.
One of the few good days of weather we had while in cold, rainy "Asia".
After a few days of hanging out with the staff of YWAM Thailand, Ben and I headed to "Asia" for about 9 days. Our team there is doing really well, and is partnering with our long-term contacts to share the Gospel with college aged young people. Our team really dug in their heels in this ministry, which requires a lot of self motivation and courage to go out and meet strangers in a foreign country. Ben and I were impressed with our teams willingness to get out of their comfort zone to do things like invite new friends to a Bible study or intentionally shift a conversation to God.
We stayed near the second tallest building in the world!
In a few days, I'll update my blog again with what Ben and I did while we were in Nepal, so look out for Asia Update part 2 of 3 by the end of the week!
