its a heat waaaave...

its getting hot hot hot...
its so HOTTT here!!!! aaahhhh!!! truly i am experiencing a heat wave of ginormous proportions. this morning we were hoeing weeds, and sweat is just dripping everywhere. then this afternoon, a fuse blew, so we dont have any fans to keep the sweat at bay, somewhat. i just checked the weather report, and today is 100 degrees, 41 % humidity. no joke. you only thought i was being dramatic. i shall never complain about california heat ever again. ever.
weve been given some work to do around the grounds, hoeing weeds. the most pointless of tasks, because what they want specifically, is for us to get the weeds out, but to leave the top soil, so basically we are using cover up on a pimple. haha! really, we are getting the weeds out, and raking over the top, and doing the same thing the next day. in this heat. this morning i saw all the sprouts of lovely little weeds coming up from the first place we worked on. maybe they think its grass? whatever. bottom line is, we are blessing them, and the ministry, and that is what counts. and i learned how to cook thai food today! well, the most basic of thai dishes, curry. ask me over sometime, ill cook it for you :)
oh! so, theres a wedding taking place in the village tomorrow, and here, weddings are three-day events. so yesterday, bright and early (no joke, six o clock), music started blaring over loudspeakers. they do this for THREE DAYS! all day long. it doesnt stop till somewhere around midnight. sometimes it gets so loud you have to yell a little to be heard. thankfully we'll be gone for most of tomorrow, seeing where the original capital of thailand, back when it was known as siam, was located. i love history! im very much looking forward to it. we were invited to the wedding, im pretty sure as a formality, as the pastor were working with is presiding over it, but we gracefully (hopefully!) declined. talk about awkward, crashing a strangers wedding, AND being the only white people. might be a little obvious.
we leave the day after tomorrow, and except for a four day excursion into a buddhist eco-village to live and sleep amongst them, well be staying in a guest house, which no matter how cheap it is will still be nicer than anything weve been living in so far, until debrief, when we hit the jackpot of nice accomodations. how sweet it is! im VERY much looking forward to sleeping in air-con from now on. not that im complaining :) haha, why start now?
ive been lingering on this blog long enough, and i just got worried that the power might go down, and ill lose every precious word ive spent some much time forming into coherent ideas and statements...its happened before. more than once. grr.
sawatii kaa!
