Where's Reg

Over the Christmas break I was invited by one of my English students (Por who has become a really good friend over the months), to go to Thilosu waterfall with him and a bunch of other friends [Noon, Maay, Dor, my girlfriend Faa, Edmund and myself] for four days. This waterfall is the largest one in Southeast Asia and ranked as the sixth most prettiest waterfall in the world.

The thing that made this part of the trip so awful was that we went through 1,219 curves to get. Half way through Faa and I felt like throwing up, so we switched with some of our friends in the front to take a break. I talked with the driver and he said that it is very common for people to get sick on this trip. He said that he has been driving this route for 10 years, but if he gets in the back, he still gets sick.




and got to watch the sunrise over a valley. The cool thing with this sunrise was that the fog filled the valley so all you saw were mountain tops sticking through the fog. The fog is actually supposed to cover everything, thus making you feel like you are watching the sun rise over the ocean. That night before this sunrise we camped at this lookout and had a really great supper of macaronii (yum,yum)On the Sunday that we were there we went to this little church. One of the boys painted the Lord's supper on the back wall of the church, very beautiful.
After church we went to visit a family and my buddy Por pointed out something very interesting. This house has a door, but if you look to the left of the door, it's wide open,lol. We both had a good laugh about this.

I have to say, it's really nice to have friends like the ones that were with me on this trip. I really enjoyed this trip and I really believe this trip has made us all better friends.
On the last day of our trip after going back through all those curves, we had to catch a van to the train station. Within 10 minutes of leaving, the van broke down, so we missed the train and had to take a much later train. Oh well, we got back safely and the trip ended well.
Almost nine months ago, when I arrived in Thailand, one of my prayer request's was that I would make some new friends. Praise God, He answered my prayers and has given me a wonderful girlfriend (Faa) as well. God is so good and I am so blessed to be his child.

In our last week before the Christmas break, I was able to get involved with some of the Christmas outreaches to the schools here in Lopburi . We sang songs, played games, made crafts and shared the Christmas story. I don't think I was ever given the chance to be a shepherd when I was young, so this Christmas I jumped at the opportunity. I had a blast with it, and the kids had a good laugh too. Now I see what I missed when I was a kid. I got to be a wise man when I was younger, but this was much more fun. I am not sure if they were laughing at me because I was a shepherd or that I was aFarang (foreigner) trying to act like a shepherd. Lots of fun and I look forward to many more opportunities like this to share the Gospel with kids in the years ahead.
