Monday and Tuesday have been full days of teaching and spending time with the leaders and students. They are such an eager, energetic group! It has been a delight to teach them. Tomorrow, Wednesday, will conclude the conference. Pastor Andrew has been tireless in doing virtually all the translating each day. He is the kind of translator that I like working with, in that he incorporates the voice inflections, gestures, and movements seamlessly.
i am looking forward to tomorrow’s sessions but I am also kind of sad that the time has flown by so quickly. My prayer is that what we’ve taught will make a difference in their lives and prepare them all for future Christian service.
We have been able to see a bit of Mandalay as well. Pastor Andrew and his wife Marilyn took us yesterday to a famous wooden bridge. There were hundreds of people there and it was a rich experience, but difficult to put into words. I have included a photo of it. If you look closely, you can see many people walking on it. Then this evening Ed and I walked for over an hour looking for a particular restaurant where we could have dinner. There is a fort surrounded by a moat and wall, 2 miles square that we walked by and I’ve included a pic of that as well. Tomorrow I will include more pics of the students.
Having a great time and thanking you for the prayers.
David
A new place and the same God . Your heart is called there. Look forwar to hearing more.
Dear friend, that is so TRUE!!! I love seeing and hearing about all the people who are hungry for the teaching of the same Jesus we worship. SUCH a beautiful place, especially knowing we would be so blessed to worship alongside them. Praying God to watch over you and go before you.
We are sure your teaching will be multiplied for years to come. Love seeing the pictures. That bridge is cool! We continue to pray for you.
