So I'm in Thailand for the next 6 weeks and I'll be emailing my family about it and thought I'd just post my emails on my blog as well. Here ya go.
Hey ya'll,
I've been feeling like a missionary since I got here to Chiang Mai, so I have decided I will write like one. I know mom really misses those weekly emails(; anyway, first things first, my flights here were all fine. I know that Heavenly Father was watching over me because there's no way I could have made it through those airports on my own. Especially the Taiwan Airport.. Jeez.
Okay so I have the sweetest host family ever! My host mom's name is Kunt (pronounced Coong) and she feeds me nonstop. I'm pretty sure I've gained about 8 pounds, but whatever. At least I have no idea what I'm eating 88% of the time.. My host dad doesn't speak any English AT ALL. He's pretty funny. He smokes, drinks, and has a nice loud laugh. Let's be real I have no idea what his name is.. It sounds something like "pudding". He thinks I'm funny too do we get along pretty well. I have a host little brother (13) named Deft and he has never spoken to me. He also doesn't speak English. And then I have a host little sister (5). Her name sounds something like "deep". She's stinkin' cute. She loves dancing and eating fish eyeballs. So grateful for that because hopefully I will never get the chance to taste one!
As for work, I will be working at a special needs school once school actually starts. Way more exciting than just teaching English!! And until then I go to the hospital to help out with little kids who have cancer, and some days I'll go to another school for orphans. It's been so fun minus the 6 bloody noses already.
Anyways, I don't want to make this superrrr long so I'll end it. But just remember that I probably love you and I absolutely hate roosters! (They don't stop).
Until next week,
Mandy
