Unrest

So I have been in Thailand for about almost nine months and within those months I have witnessed the country's deep rooted unrest. Throughout the time that I have been here, there have been several different headlines concerning Thailand's political problems. Some so bad that, traveling in Bangkok mainly was not advised. 

Just recently during this vacation, another breakout of violence and protesting erupted in Thailand's capital. Luckily I live no where close to Bangkok. This all was happening during the Songkran holiday, fortunately all of us SM's even the ones from Bangkok were celebrating in Ubon. But with still a couple of days left in the break, Erin and I decided that it would a great chance to visit Mission College. We were a little apprehensive at first because of the problems happening in Bangkok. The protesting was at it's worst yet; we just didn't know if we should be around that. 

But God is so good. The day we were suppose to leave for Bangkok, the protesters surrendered and were pushed out of public areas. I was so thankful, because I really wanted to spend some more time with the other SM's. Our time here is quickly concluding and it's a little bit sad that it's time to say our good-byes. 

I hope and pray that this unsettling problem between the people of Thailand will work out. From what I've seen, it's tearing this country apart and that's no way to live.
