Hey Family!
Today, I rode an elephant. Yep. It was sweet. I rode right
on its neck and boy was it nuts. You right on their shoulders so when they
walk, you rock back and forth like a beast. We definitely almost fell off a
couple times, especially when our mammoth went up and down hills. Super fun
though.
So Narongdej got baptized. YES. It was the funniest baptism
ever. E. Campbell and I were in the bathroom when he walks out of a stall with
all white on...and a fat brown belt. We told him that wouldn't fly so he takes
it off and we realize the pants are waaaayy too big. He is the skinniest dude
ever. So we have him try on the other pants...they are even bigger. So we
decide to pin the pants and pray all goes well. After we rip apart a 'We Care
about You' pin that we use for english class and pinned his pants together we
thought we were money in the bank. But when it was time for the actual
ordinance it got sketchy. So he was baptized once, but his toe poked up. No
good. We tell them they gotta redo it. Then we notice Narongdej's pants
sliding down...but it was too late, P. Supat was already saying the prayer,
there was nothing we could do but watch and pray that his pants stayed on. The
second time down was clean, as he comes up his pants are even lower than
before. We gave them a thumbs up and slammed the curtain closed (for the sake
of the women and children who were watching). It was classic.
Eagle
Scout moment: So we had a new sign made for english. We found a place to hang
it and even got permission. We picked up our shiny sign and went to hang it at
this bike shop. That's when we realized they didn't have a ladder we could use,
or rope to hang it for that matter. Yeah...we weren't prepared at all. Little
known fact, scouts are rarely prepared. We just learn to make do with what is
there. So we said a prayer trusting the Lord would provide. We asked the bike
shop how they normally hang signs up, they said they borrow a ladder from the
construction site down the street. So off we went in search of a ladder. We
found the construction site but couldn't find the workers. So we went exploring
in this half finished building for people/ladders. On the top floor we finally
find them and attempt to explain our situation. They let us borrow a ladder.
Score. As we are leaving I find some heavy duty ribbon and ask to use it. They
say yes. 3 Pointer. We carry the ladder to our hanging spot and realize we are
being followed...by a construction worker. He is shorter than me. He proceeds
to hang our sign for us. He sort of hung it in the wrong spot (2 feet to the
left would have been perfect) but beggars can't be choosers. So in the
beginning, we didn't even have a ladder. In the end, we found a ladder, some
rope stuff, and a person to hang our ladder for us. Sometimes you just aren't
prepared. So you make it up as you go. #Eaglescout.
Out of time. Much
Love!
