Two massages in 48 hours? Yeah, I could get used to this. Today I met up with an old friend who I met last time I was here in Thailand. She's been on staff at the YWAM base here for the past 5+ years, and when I returned to Thailand in January she was on furlough for six months back home in Melbourne. She returned last week, so today we met up for lunch and massages. She had been massage-deprived for the last six months, and although I just got a foot massage yesterday, I figured I could manage to suffer through another one for the sake of an old friend. :)
It was especially fun meeting up with her as she just got back from Melbourne, where I will be headed off to in 51 days to see my 'fan' (Thai for 'boyfriend'/'girlfriend'). The fun thing is, she is from his home church that I will be attending while I'm there! She told me today that she thinks he's a great guy; I agreed wholeheartedly. I'm so thankful to have friends who know him. It's not just a random internet relationship or even a random person I met who doesn't have any connections to my life. He came here with four other close friends who I got to know as well, so when I go to Melbourne I already know some wonderful people besides him. Upon meeting this team of individuals from his home group, I felt an instant connection, not just with him but with the spirit of this group of people. I am really looking forward to seeing them again and spending time with them as a group. They really do love the Lord and seek to glorify Him and make Him known. I could certainly stand being friends with these people.
