Hi everyone ... Newsong went to a retreat in Nakon Nayok province from Friday-Sunday. It was a long trip there but it was worth it. It was a good time to get to know each other more and to build relationships with other newsong people. When we got there on Friday night we had a quick worship and then went to sleep. Everyone slept, except P'Yo, P'Bun, P'Praise, Kyle, Tarin, O, Mon, and me. We played cards until 2am. Saturday ... it was time for great to know you games. The first game ... ... spit as much as you can into the funnel .... anyone thirsty? Second game ... outside in the friggin hot weather ... we had to blow up a balloon and attach it to our knee with an elastic. Next, kick the other teams balloon until it popped ... i think we kicked each other more than the balloons ... its okay only one person had to go to the hospital ...JK :)
Alycia Matt
Andrew Travis ... Narak mai? haha (too bad i'm not gay)
Blue Team
Orange Team ...
Kick them harder!!!!! This is how farang get it done!! no mercy! ( i think rachel - orange tank top - thought it was mouy thai fighting) 
Dying in the heat ... could it have been any hotter?!?! Third game ... We were blind-folded and given a plastic pole. Then we had to run down the field and hit a metal box ... good luck trying to run straight. I almost got hit twice ... 
Beautiful Sadie ...sorry she's married :) O being an ninja ... somersauted and hit the box Rachel running like a murder with a butcher knife
Alycia ... she thought i was the metal box ... too close to my precious camera 
Katie ... sooo shy ... Saturday night ... we had a time to share with others on the retreat, it was a time to share our struggles and to get encouragement and support from our friends around us. I shared about my struggle with reading the Bible and praying for the past 9 months ... i have been lazy and most of the time i allowed my thoughts to be filled with the future. I wanted to control the future instead of giving it to God to control for me. I am a sinner and continually need to learn God's love and grace ... throughout the christian life, things go up and down ... lately i have been going down ... i wanted my friends to know about my struggle so i can get support and encouragement, while i try to bring my life up again ... my friends (P'Yo, P'Nong, P'Praise, P'Ja, P'Poom, etc) always make me feel loved and are open with me about the things they are going through. I think i am not good and i dont feel like i deserve their trust, but they still trust me. P'Bun remembered us that God always loves us ... that confirmed to me that God still loves me ... Sunday ... We had a time for worship ... then baptism ...
