It's kind of hard to describe since it's not a whole lot of "knowledge" but rather more internal things that are a bit personal.
But week one was on "intercessory" prayer which is letting God speak to you about what he wants you to pray for and then sharing these things with the group and praying for them. It's a bit different but very interesting to see what happens. During the last day we had the two speakers prophetically pray over us individually. I had this happen once before and both times have been very encouraging.
This week the speaker is talking about the nature (what he is) and character (what he chooses to be) of God. It's a lot of information to take in but it's been interesting. It takes a lot of time to process it all. But since the school is Bilingual the speed is 1/2 what is normal so I have time during lecture to think about things a bit.

Thailand Trip
Last Saturday I had the opportunity to go on a trip around the Chiang Rai province. The first place we went to was called Phu Chi Fa. It is the highest point in the area. It was quite foggy out but still a nice view. The peak had several rocky outcroppings.
The next place we went to was a pseudo-hill tribe village near Phu Chi Fa. It was a bit of a disappointment but still enjoyable. Next was an out-of-season flower business where the picture of the tulips comes from. It was a lot of walking for a few flowers. The last place was probably the highlight of the trip. I’m not sure the name of the waterfall. It was fun to hike around in the woods of Thailand above the waterfall. The one tree in picture must be at least 200-feet tall and 8-feet wide at the base.
