Just a quickie.

Thailand Tip #1

In rainy season, do not wear pants that touch the ground. They will soak water up to your knees.

Ok, I have to tell you the cool/gross story first. Yesterday we visited a Hill tribe village and were able to wander around for a few minutes while the SFV church ministered to another children’s home. (This one was not affiliated with ZOE, just friends of ZOE) While we were exploring, it started to rain and we ducked into a half built house to wait out the rain. I was just looking around when I saw this grayish thing on the ground and realized it was a bug. A bug nearly the side of my hand. I motioned for Jonathan to come over and we got closer. It looked like a giant fly. Jonathan thinks it was a moth, but it’s wings were perfectly clear. It’s belly was about an inch in diameter, and it’s body was 4” or so long, with the wings extending further. Of course he touched it. Of course he tried to pick it up. And of course, the Thais eat those suckers and wanted to know where we found it. Apparently Greg, one of the missionaries has eaten one, but hadn’t ever seen one so big. Yes Pastor Marty, we’ll bring you one.

Needless to say, we are having a blast. But I guess it would be good to say that Thailand isn’t really a gross country. We were looking for gross stuff, because that’s just what we do. The people are sooo nice here, everyone smiles. Oh, I gotta go, my ride just pulled up. I’ll try to add more later. Today is our Anniversary, so we’re going to the Zoo and doing touristy things. May God comfort all you people who wish you were here.

Oh wait, I’ve uploaded a video of the super fly on YouTube.com

And if that doesn’t work, our user name is mcthai06, hopefully that will help you find us. I'll try to put up more stuff later. Love ya lots!!!
