It offcially offcial

Well it is officially official, we've been here TWO months! Yesterday Tang said that the other group said the last two months went way fast! I got a little teary eyed when thinking about leaving the kids! It's crazy to think this experience is almost over! We are going to Chang Mi this weekend and that means I GET TO RIDE AN ELEPHANT! I really can't even wait! We went to church today, it was really good. The missionary that translates for us is going home soon and he is really weird around five American girls, I wonder why? haha On the way home we went to the train station where we had to pay triple for the train (we still don't know why) and they said it'd be there at two! So it was around twelve thirty so we thought oh that isn't to bad! It didn't come or leave tell after three haha It was okay though! It could be worse that is for sure. The flooding here is worse than it's been in decades so a lot of people are out of homes and food. The flooding has killed close to 300 people but where we are is pretty safe. We've been going on lots of bike rides lately and Hannah and I went on one just yesterday. We were sitting on this bridge enjoying some muffins when a lady drove by motioning us to come with her. Of course we just waved and looked back to our view of the river. Suddenly she comes back and starts speaking Thai! We say Mai Thai but she just keeps on going. So we call Tang and She speaks to her over the phone. Tang says to go with her because we are sitting at the entrance of a temple and she will take us inside, she then says if she starts taking you to far turn around and call me ASAP. So a little worried but with no bad feelings we followed her. She took us thirty seconds to this little outside food restaurant where she got us some water (we were sweating so bad) a coke and some juice haha Then she motioned for us to pick what we wanted to put in our noodle soup. We choose what we needed and the lady cooked them for us. They tried getting the cooks little girl to speak to us but she was to scared haha They feed us a great meal and sent us on our way. They are so nice here! Tang said that we can't do that anywhere outside of Phichit because it wouldn't be safe but here it's okay. We rode around for a long while after that, we turned down a dirt road when we heard quacking. We pulled over and got off our bikes to see hundreds of ducks! The first thing I thought of was my dad and uncle Ron and how they would kill to going hunting here haha We think it was a  duck farm but who knows. Everything is going well here and time is flying!
