CUC goes tourist


Hey Fellow Troopers of Concordia and beyond, this is your good friend and lovable hoodlum Ben Spaulding reporting on today’s events.  We went to a Buddhist temple in the morning on Doi Suthep mountain and the general feeling of the group was uncomfortability and sadness.  The view was beautiful but seeing the crowds of people bowing before the idols made us all realize how much this amazing nation has bought into the lie of idols and how much the Gospel light needs to be proclaimed.  It was also sad to see the fellow tourists participating in the worship and the ignorance behind it all, but also the dangers of participating in false worship.  It was discussed at the devo tonight and everyone had the same sad feeling about the temple.  However, afterwards we got to experience some great Thai food at a local restaurant at lunch time and we had amazing soup and noodles.  Then some of us went to finish electrical projects at the house and others stayed and planned for Saturday activities.  The best part of today, though, was the dinner theater.  We all sat down on the floor in comfy small chairs and ate huge portions of delicious food.  The artistic entertainment and dancing was also amazing to witness.  The fellowship was amazing and also seeing the floating lights was spectacular.  Plus I pranked Carolyn Foote tonight posing as a delivery guy and she believed me.  Classic!!! Love you guys, but more importantly Jesus loves you!!! Peace!!
