It seemed like it would never end! The stairs were countless as I hiked to the top to see the giant white buddha. Leah and I were visiting fellow missionaries stationed at the mission college for a few days, and they took us on a short trek to a giant buddha. The buddha was so big you could see it in the middle of the mountain from the highway! It was very interesting, but quite a hike to the top.
After the exhausting trip to the top what I saw was beautiful. Not the buddha, although it was quite clean for being white and big, but the scenery from the top was amazing. It takes my breath away at times when I see how amazing and beautiful God's creations are. He is magnificent and His creation shows it!! Wow, He is so awesome.
Because we were so hot and sweaty, the Ashlocks took us to a little swimming area and we enjoyed a picnic and swimming with Thai locals. It was quite the adventure. Lunch was delicious and swimming was hilarious with Leah. Leah loves to freak out, a lot of things scare her, which was why the rope swing was fun! Although I do have to say that we both freaked out from that swing, it was very wobbly!
Staying with the Ashlocks was so much fun. They made us such good food, such as Mexican food, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, fruit salad, salad, cinnamon rolls... and so forth. They were quite the hosts, made us great food, took us places and were always very nice. I feel so blessed to have been around these people, even if it was just for a little bit.
