The flight went well, and I am safe and sound in Bangkok. My first flight was from ATL to Seoul, Korea and then I flew from Sheol to Bangkok. Let me tell you, I flew Korean Air, and the service was amazing. The Quinley's told me Asian airlines typically have better service then Western ones. They served great meals and drinks, as well as giving us blankets, pillows, tooth brush, shades, and even socks. How sweet is that. It was odd having all announcements given in Korean and Thai before English, though. I guess I have to get used to it. I felt separated from what was going on, because of the language barrier. It makes me think more about the Hispanics in the US who don't know English.
The Quinley's picked me up from the airport, and tok me to their house where I will be staying for the next few days before I move into my own apartment. John Quinley is so excited about loving the Lord, sharing Him with others, and helping those in need. I am really excited to be working under him this summer. I think there is a lot I will learn from him and his family. His 19 year old son has done in his life more than I could dream of doing for a while. The Quinley's are people who don't bow to the idea of conservative growth. They have already told me so many things they are starting or want to start. They see needs in the world and are finding answers.
Well I will keep everyone abreast on the latest news from Bangkok. I have had a lazy morning and think Mr. Quinley is going to take me to visit Step Ahead's office this afternoon. Until then, God bless.
