Well, today we flew from Bangkok, Thailand to Mandalay, Myanmar. This is my first time here and it is very exciting. We were met at the airport by Pastor Andrew, with whom we will work this week. He has had a church here since 1999. He is a delightful man and we had a very pleasant afternoon with him.
The 30-minute drive from the airport was on a nice, large highway but entirely through the countryside. We evidently are here at the best time of the year: warm temps and low humidity. It really is beautiful. After checking in to our hotel, we went to lunch and got to know Pastor Andrew a bit more.
Tomorow, Sunday, we will attend the worship service at his church, where I will be given the privilege of preaching the morning’s message. Then we will be meeting with about 100 pastors and students through the week, teaching and training. I will post photos!
So, I am looking forward to the week here. I also look forward to exploring the city and area on Thursday.
Here is what we saw on the way in today:
God bless you all. Let me know if you’re reading the posts!

We are enjoying your posts and pray that the Lord continues to bless your teaching and keeps you healthy.
Excited about the week! Sounds like someone coming here in August 🙂
