literally...However, the Lord continues to bless our trip (left you hanging didn't we). After leaving Tha Ton where Faith Village is, we continued our journey into Thoet Thai. We were able to bring a wonderful translator from Faith Village, Ja Fon. She has been such a blessing to us as we were able to minister and meet several Shan people. Without her, we would not have been able to be as effective. We have prayed among the Shan during the morning market each day we have been here. This is where they sell their goods and make most of their money. We were also invited to a Shan Buddhist funeral by the owner of the guest house we are staying at. This was an incredible opportunity for us to learn more about the Shan. We were also very blessed to have connected with Pastor Seng. He lives in the Shan village and his labor of love is very apparent. He has a church in the midst of the village and also teaches Chinese to the children, free of charge. As he is teaching them, he is also ministering the Truth of Jesus Christ. We plan to worship with him on Sunday (tomorrow) and then head back to Chiang Mai. One of the highlights today is that we were able to cross over into Myanmar (Burma). We went to Shwe Dagon (type of Buddhist shrine) where many people worship different idols depending on the day of the week in which they were born. It was very sad to see parents teaching their children this and how many people put their faith into this lie. So we did what we know to do - we prayed. Oh yeah, about that brick wall. There was a little accident but all is ok. Sorry Brian.
Love & miss you,
Jodi
