Sweet McGrega

Guys... how long has it been since i have posted!!!
SORRY GUYS ABOUT THAT ONE!! & a just as HUGE apology for my lack of emailing everyone & anyone! I was bad at that back at home... so i pray i start to get abit better at that here! I miss you guys heaps! xoxo


So a quick summary of the massive amount of gear that has gone on in this last 4ish weeks must be in order. (there is NO WAY I COULD HAVE SAID THAT IN THAI... At least not yet :-D )

Well I guess thats a good place to start... :-) PASA THAI = Thai Language
MAN WHAT A LANUAGE! Yesterday when trying to introduce Dad, Mum & Tom to the crew here at DTS I accidently said MUM was a Dog/Horse or something like that... HOW GOOD IS THAT! just incase you don't know yet. I think PASA THAI has aleast 4 different tones you can use for any one word... the only problem is that it changes its meaning totally... FROM MUM TO DOG (Kortort Krup MUM :-) = excuse me MUM)

BUT ON A POSSITIVE PASA THAI NOTE... I am actually learning some thai. Like the basic greating... food names... how to say > where? here! there!... and heaps of other cool gear! :-) But man you should hear TOM speak thai... thats cool!

Hey well i live in a village that is called Barn Den (sorry about the spelling... that will take me even longer than the speak thai i think). The word for Village is Moo Barn. So you say to the bus driver... Moo Barn Barn Den (but Barn Den for short). And this viallge i live in has alot of christian kids boarding houses here. So that is cool! This is kinda hard to explain... but i think that each Moo Barn has a Village leader & there might be like 20 properties in our Moo Barn. But just next door is the next Moo Barn... so its not like we are all by ourselves. OK! hope that helps.

Probably the next big news is that we have just finished 4 weeks of lectures so that has ben teaching on 1.Prayer 2.Worship 3. Character, Nature & Father Heart of God 4.Relationships.
& that has been awesome. I have honestly learnt alot about Worship & Prayer. That Worship & Prayer both are about being honest with God from our hearts and loving him from there & then the actions and express follow (singing, music, dancing, prayer & other gear). I definatly don't have it all figured out but I am trying to Worship God out of my heart and the overflow. & this might be crazy to say... but i think that before there has been alot of times when i have got through to the 2nd last song in the music set at church and still haven't really wanted or asked or desired God to have my heart... and still have that abit here... but God is getting me to be more open and honest with him quicker... which is sweet!

I love you guys and i hope that made sense and maybe helps you abit.

Now that 4 weeks is up we are going on 2 weeks of outreach. I am going with a stack of other furungs (foreigners) & a few thais (champs) up into some mountain. I will try and find out where so i can tell you all... but we must be called the Aje team for some reason... maybe that is where we are going. But Aje in Thailand not Aje in Indonesia. We will be leaving on Sunday at 2pm to go for 2 weeks... and i will be with out my phone... but thats not too scary... but please pray for us. We will be helping to build a church & i think it is the first church building they have had there. Please pray for protection as the area is apparently not that safe for anyone to go of alone. I don't know exaclty why... but that is what we have been told. But we will not be affraid cause God is there with us... AWESOME!

I have to go cause @ 11 the computer has to go off.
God bless you guys. and sorry that this has been so long in the PROVERBIAL!
Speak soon!
xoxo
