Week 2

Well its officially been two weeks since i left home, and everything is still going really good. I've made friends here and everything and the weather is really nice.
This past week, we had a speaker teaching on prayer, fasting and hearing the voice of God. It was really interesting. This weeks speaker is going to be talking about relationships.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that the highlight of this week was definitely riding elephants! Life long dream fulfilled. haha We went to the elephant camp where we watched a show where the elephants painted pictures (the pictures were actually impressive, I'll put some pictures on facebook later, i haven't been able to upload them on the blog for some reason) they also kicked soccer balls, played harmonicas and did other tricks, it was so fun. I had an elephant put a hat on my head and then take it off again, and i also had an elephant kiss me.... weirdest feeling ever!
Later we actually rode the elephants and i got to sit on the elephants neck for part of it, instead of just in the seat on its back. SO FUN!
there were little baby elephants too!
We also got to go zip lining across a river that day.
One of the people from the base knows the manager at the elephant camp, so the whole day, including snacks, riding the elephant, going to the elephant show, zip lining, and renting a taxi for the day cost under $10. It was amazing.

Today's Fun Fact:
The man who owns the cafe that I'm in right now, has a son who's about 12... he likes to sing... really loud. i wish you guys could hear this.
