My day off...

Well today is my day off!!...i'm not really sure what the plan is yet...but i'll write more later in the day...i just got up like an hour ago or so..yeah..haha..=D

Later today...

Well today i went to the market with Pastor John Teschan and his daughter Anna...we went to go buy some fish...Pastor John has a salt water tank...but going to the market i realized that i can pretty much get any kind of pet or animal i want there..hahaha..it's cool..but sad at the same time...i saw so many things...the cutest thing was the puppies..they all looked so cute...but i felt bad for them..because they all looked so tire...i aslo saw many exotic birds...most of them were babies...barely hatched from their egg...without any feathers or anything....we also saw some chickens or cocks..they were having cock fights! That reminded me of my dad..haha...he has some cocks at home..made me miss going to see them..i hope none died yet...

But when we reached the fish area..it was like heaven!..hahaa..lol..the fish were way cheap!!!...a fish going for 20 or 30 us dollar goes for like 5 here....angel fish...are only 50 cents...bettas are like a dollar for half moons..for the fighting kind they are like 2 or 3 dollars...arrowanas are like 3 dollars....it's amazing...Gold fishes are huge here...they are super fat!!!!...the salt water fish are pretty cheap as well..some could get up there tho..we saw a salt water fish for 5,000 baht which is roughly about $150 US dollars..which isn't too bad..but if it were in the states that fish would be like 300 or 400 dollars....so anyways..that was my little journey to the market place!!....interesting...and it was super hot out today!!...and everyone says it only going to get hotter!..can't wait!..hahaha

But i was having dinner with Pastor John (E) and Chris and we were just talking about how bad the prositute was here...and how sad it is...because most of those girls don't want to be there..but that's their only way of making money...and sending money back to their families!...it's so sad!!!....we were just talking about how that looks like here in bangkok and how big of a problem it is...it was a really good talk...

Pastor John (T), Pastor John (E) and Christ are great guys! I'm really glad that i am able to just serve with them...great men of God!..awesome...awesome!!...how bless i am to serve next to these three guys..and the passion they have!...wow!!...you know they love the lord and what they are doing!!..praise God!! but i must go to bed now!..so my first day off...has been a good one!..but back to work tomorrow!..eeks!

The best days are the days when you get to experience culture like you did. You really build your knowledge of a country when you get out into the cities (and country). I'm glad you had that opportunity!

Praying for you!!
