Oh, btw, I forgot to mention...
There has been a HUGE freak-out with ants! There were ants crawling all over the toys and candy for children that I brought along the way. A billion tiny red ants consumed each bag! I had to get Jit and Dee (girls I live with) to help me throw away all the candy and shake off all the ants (this was in my bedroom, by the way). Not two days later, ten billion black ants were making eggs right underneath my bed! I used insect spray and managed to sweep them all out. Needless to say, I dreamt about ants crawling all over me that night...
Another thing--MOSQUITOS! They are the worst over here. I looked at my legs and they were mutilated with bites! Not only that, but when I was using the squat potty, I was afraid they might bite my bare bottom too! :P Sorry, I had to throw that in. Have you tried using a squat potty before? Doing number one isn't so bad but when you have to do number two, oh man...lol. I tell you, it's an adventure!
Since it's the beginning of this journey for me, I feel that I am suddenly overwhelmed with expectations to speak, read, and write Thai. Fortunatelyl, Pastor Boonsoem has been a great teacher and now I can manage to read a bit--my vocabulary is just limited. Praise God, though, that I'm still here and going strong with His strength.
