Elephants

Sawasdee-kah!
We hit today running with a quick breakfast and then a 1.5 hour drive to ride elephants in the jungle, raft down a jungle river and eat lunch in an orchid farm. It was so incredible!!!!! It is super fun to go places here as we ride to everything in the back of trucks under camper shells on benches....it is kinda hard to explain, but the gist is that there are no seat belts, the back is open to the road (so if you fall out, it is a bummer) and it is so much more condusive to conversation. I think we should introduce these little buggers to the states. :) oh and I have yet to see a speed limit sign.
It is kind of hard to believe I am going to school right now, oh wait, classes haven't started yet...but when they do (on Monday) I am going to be stressing over memorizing Thai, so a prayer would be appriciated. I wish I could do a better job at explaining my life over here, but there aren't enough minutes and words to do so.
I am attending a college that is as prestigious in Thailand as Stanford or Harvard is to America, which is very awesome and exciting. Chiang Mai University is an honor to attend and we are being honored for coming here to attend.
Right now, life is really good. I am so happy to be here and happy to be a child of God.
