Translating...

So it has been over a month since my last blog, and several people have been asking for updates. I guess I have been dragging my feet on it a bit because I feel like I am seeing, learning, and experiencing so much on a daily basis - it is hard for me to process those things seeing them first hand, much less communicating them to people back home. I feel like there is no way I can possibly do justice in translating those things.

In the last month I have been traveling throughout SE Asia and have seen so many things that literally are breaking my heart. I keep praying that I NEVER become calloused to those things, that I never become desensitized to the poverty, the desperation, the reality of these people's lives.

I want to share life with these people, it is a huge part of why I am here. To know them, to understand their stories, their hearts....
On that note ~ I have officially started my language class! We meet two hours a day, every day, for six weeks. Hoping to really get a good foundation that I can build on at home and over the course of the year.

Will try to post again very soon - exciting new topics of: Moto (buying a motorcycle) and Songkran (Thai New Year Festival) both next week!!!
