Hello everyone!
Today was our first full day in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Our activities were not too exhausting due to our 24 hours of travel. Our team had traditional Thai breakfast, lunch and dinner today. Our team started our day with a team orientation at Billy and Anne Crompton's house, our host missionaries. Billy is a Messiah Alum and played soccer for Messiah. We learned more about cultural norms, traditions, and practices. We also went over the schedule for the upcoming week. We then had a huge breakfast which Thai-ed us over till our next activity.
We then walked around the main market of Chiang Mai. This experience is only full when you have it hands on. We had some students buy Thai clothes and exotic fruit (the durian) let's just say this fruit smells like rotten mangos. Our team ended our evening at a Thai Restaurant on the water of the moat that surrounds the old part of the city. All in all this was a fun day to get our team more acquainted with the culture, each other, and let us rest up for the rest of the journey. Tomorrow we are hitting the ground running! We leave for a two day sports camp at 8:30am with local elementary students.
We may not have WIFI access for a few days due to our sports camp, this is just a forewarning for our readers. Thank you for your prayers and support.
This is Philip Rodo signing out!
