Well anyways, the best way to describe this week, is "confession week" It was about having a clear conscience and righting your wrongs with God and with other people. Some of the things that people confessed to didn't even seem like they were real, they seemed like things that you would only hear made up in the movies! Which kind of leaves you thinking about how much Satan has a hold on this world, but that being said, if you leave it at that, being in awe of Satan, you're making a mistake. I realized that the key is to be in awe of what God has done with these people regardless of what they have done, or what i have done for that matter. i think that this confession week was really helpful for a lot of people because it helped them to see that there are a lot of people here that have the EXACT same problems and struggles as they do and that they're not alone in it.
I was able to wear a sweater one day this week (although i wasn't even able to wear it the whole day without getting way to hot) i miss being able to wear sweaters... and shoes. I'm just in flip flops the whole time. But we are supposed to be getting into the cold season now which means that the temp. can drop to about ten degrees Celsius, (which in my opinion is not cold enough). Who would have thought, that I, the one who cant get enough of summer, would miss the cold? Weird right?
Friday nights we have "fun nights." So last night for fun night, we watched Lion King. I forgot how much i like that movie. One of the other girls and I were singing along to it the whole time. It was really fun.
Oh and here's a random and fun discovery that me and a couple of girls made: Cream-o's, which are a knock off of Oreos, are WAY better than Oreos themselves. BONUS, they're also cheaper. People stock up on them every weekend. The sad thing is, Peanut butter is ridiculously expensive here, so dipping them in peanut butter is expensive.. but sometimes so worth it!
Things here are still going good, the whole base is becoming more "family like" and getting more comfortable with each other, although i think that confession week probably helped with that seeing as now we all know the dirt about each other. There goes any masks that anybody had!
Well I think that's about it for this week. I'm gonna go into town and get myself some Cream-O's. :)
This Weeks Fun Fact:
White people: Sit in the sun to get darker
Thai people: Wear jackets and use umbrellas to make sure they stay light
White people: Do anything to stay skinny
Asian people: Try to eat lots because they want to have more "meat" on them (they never gain a pound anyways!)
and get this:
White people: shave their legs, and some girls shave their arms
Thai people: Are basically hairless when it comes to their legs and arms, so some of them will shave their legs trying to make it grow back thicker!!!
Who would have thought right?
