The last two days with the Aggies here have been SO AMAZING!!! I missed them so much and it has just been so good to catch up and hang out with them. Each one of them is so great and I'm so excited to have formed all these new friendships, so when I go visit my best friend at A&M I can see them too!!
Yesterday we had sports day at this park/ waterfall location. The ACU, Aggies, and Thai students were evenly distributed between 6 different teams. There were three different sports; water volleyball, Ultimate Frisbee and kickball, that we rotated around at. It was so fun having so many different people come and unite together as teams. My team was called "Blue Ling", which means blue monkey. Blue Ling ended up winning the overall tournament and as our winning prize we got to attack everyone else with water balloons. It was pretty awesome until Robert nailed me with a HUGE water balloon. After that, we ate lunch at the park and then groups of us walked down to the waterfalls. These waterfalls were so beautiful. It was awesome because of the clay that the waterfall was flowing on, you could walk/climb down the whole waterfall, which was very long. There were tons of different paths to climb and little pools to sit in and at the bottom was a big beautiful waterfall...it was so amazing. We had so much fun just playing around in the water. That pretty much took up the whole day and then that night we took the Aggies to Night Bizarre.
This morning we drove to this village church that was hosting a church service for all of the churches in Chiang Mai. We were able to worship, fellowship and eat lunch with all of these wonderful christian Thai families, it was great. After that we came back to the church to change and then went BUNGY JUMPING!! (don't freak out mom and dad!!) Surprisingly I wasn't that scared at all, I was just extremely excited. It was the greatest rush I have ever got in my life just jumping off a platform into open air...I LOVED it!! Several of the Thais went with us but most of them chose not to jump... but I think we convinced some of them to come back another time! From there we went to Walking Street which is this street type market that is open every Sunday night. They have every kind of goods, clothing and souvenirs you can think of and it it SO huge!! We walked around for hours just trying to see it all. Luckily we will be here the whole summer so we have many other Sundays to check it out. Having the Aggies back has boosted my spirits so much. I love the fellowship with them, I feel like they know what Christan fellowship is supposed to look like. After a wonderful but exhausting day I'm off to bed...Happy Fathers day (that's to any dad that's reading this!).
