Bang Na Bangkok

Dear everybody out there,

School is back in session. Suckers! Everyone needs an education so, that is good that school is starting. Well, I was really bad at writing in my Journal this week. So I don't have much to write, not like anything happened this week anyway.

We kept going over our Less-Active members to try to see if they were home so that we could try to get them to come back to church. We haven't had much luck with that. English was fun like always. 

I think the only thing exciting that happened was me kind of getting hit by a motorcycle. We were leaving a member's house to go to another member's house. Now in Thailand, they drive on the left side of the road. I was where I was supposed to be, and I was trying to turn right. In Thailand, and especially in Bangkok, everyone is hasty and very impatient. As I was turning, traffic stopped. Sadly, a motorcycle driver was very impatient. We think that he waited half a second before he decided to go on the right side of the road to pass the stopped traffic. So, I was turning, and I heard a consistent beep of a motorcycle horn. I believe that he was even trying to speed up. I hit my brake and he hit his a little late, and ran right into my handlebars. He hit my hand a little and that was it.

So yeah, that was my week. I hope that everyone has a good week. I will talk to you soon.
