The streets are taken over, becoming the playground for this event.

No one is safe

Not even buses

Especially not Tuk Tuks

I am so happy to have experienced this years Sonkran Festival. Every year mid April people from all over Asia have the biggest water-fight know to mankind. Sonkran is Asia's way of celebrating the New Year. The sprinkling of the water is to represent the washing away of the past. Its cool cause God gives us a promise that is somewhat similar in Ezekiel 36:25-27 " I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleans you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you an new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh, and I will put My Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws." Sonkran turned out to be such a blessing, it gave the missionaries an opportunity to interact with the community and to really have some fun. This opened up many doors that were once closed. Our neighbor was kind enough to take us out on her truck around the city. At the bottom here is a pic of everyone that went.
