Fang!

Hello all! So last I wrote I was an invalid in my room for days on end, but today i write to you not as a prisoner, but as a free person! I am no longer having to be in my room. My rash is not completely gone, but but it is good enough to be out and about. YAY! We went to Chiang Mai after Mae Sot and I love it. It has alot of white people because apparanetly it is a really big touristy town and alot of the old missionaries go retire there. But we went to nice market there and our hotel was really nice. We only stayed there for a night as a lay ove rand then the next day we went to Fang! It was about a 4 hour drive with switchbacks most of the way. Fang is surrounded by mountains and so we had to go over and through them to get here, but it is so beautifu7l. It is just a quite city and everywhere we go we have to be travleing through the countryside.

Yesterday afternoon we went to the church toplay with the children. They are so cute. I love them. We basically just made sock puppets, made balloon swords and animals, and they got to pick out a couple books that we brought over. I was just about to grab the balloon pumps and the bag of balloons away from the guys by the time we were done. I sat there with my ears plugged! I can't stand it but all th eballoon activities are over, so yay! I never want to hear another balloon squeak ever again in my life. It's like dad and the tearing of the cloth!!!! Boo. In the evening we went to a church, we thought it was going to be the same one, but the drivers took us up to some hill tribe about 45 min away. We did some music, 2 testimonies, 2 DRIMES, and we prayed over the children, and the pastor and his family! It was really cool. You could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and we prayed for one guy to get over his addiction of alchol and I believe that he will be healed. It is so cool. The children and the people in general here have such huge faith! Today we just went and played with the children at another hill tribe. There were so many of them, but it was alot of fun. We told them bible stories, did some DRIMES, and played games with them, it was fun. I took tons of pictures...

Tomorrow we are on the road again, another church heard that we are here and what we are doing and they want us to visit their church too. So that means an 8 hour drive for us tomorrow, back through the mountains!

Anywyas, God is doing such great stuff here and I love it. Last night the pastor mentioned one of his visions for the church to me and I think it's so cool, he told me to pray about it and really think about it. So I guess that's what I need to do. I also would like prayer for the team to keep on going. We only have o ne day of ministry left, but we still need strength and endurance. Prayer for the drivers of our vans, it is dangerous driving in the mountains and the rules of the road are a little different that here. Sometimes we have 3 vehicles across on a one lane highways! But it's fun! I like it! I feel safe, so yah... Yah, but other than that, i will write when i can! Thanks so much for your prayers!
