Family, Friends, Supporters:
It's
hard to believe today is 1 week from when we leave for Thailand! We are
feeling so at home with the people and the lifestyle that it will be
hard to go, but we're excited to see what Christ has for us in Chaing
Mai. It is amazing to reflect on all that has happened here and realize
it has only been 3 weeks.
We
got to attend church this past Sunday at TCC (Tamwe Christian Center). Manna spoke, Bri taught
the adult class, and Angela and Madison led the children's SS. All of
the songs were available in English and it was a blessing to be able to
sing along. Tuesday, we taught at the English speaking school and
tomorrow we will be going bowling with those students. We also got to
visit some of the Christian member's homes
from TCC, share scripture with them, and pray for their needs.
Wednesday we traveled to the outskirts of town to a village and visited
a small church that needed lots of encouragement. We had such a great time with the women at this church. They had prepared a meal for us and gave us each a "Burmese" name.
A
few random snippets of our past week also include: attempting to teach
line dancing, attending the Myanmar National League Football game
between Yangon and Mandalay, and recording the old classic "I'll Fly
Away" at the studio of a very popular Burmese band called Iron Cross
that uses their music to witness to others. Although highly demanded,
we did not give them permission to release this to the top ten.
We have had trouble getting on our email and are unable to communicate that way for the moment.
Thanks for your support. We love you.
