Bonjour!

Oh wait. Sawat Dee,

Today was the last day of the conference in Mae Sai. We got up and got ready before going down to breakfast. We all had banana pancakes for breakfast. They are very good! Hint-hint, Dad. After breakfast we went over to the church and began the day. I sang "East to West," and Jon taught about evangelism until about 10:30 and then we had a break. After the break Jon and I taught the students the chorus to "How Great is Our God" along with the hand motions, courtesy of the Mime Team. Jon then taught until 11:30 and then six people shared their testimonies. After they shared, we all laid hands on them and prayed for their safety and for the well-being of their ministries. After we prayed, Jon explained to the pastors the significance of the "Bound with Them" Bracelets we have been wearing the past two months. We then handed out the fifty bracelets we had with us to the people who live farthest away. Unfortunately we did not have enough for everyone, so after we send FLC more of them they will distribute them to the remaining 30 pastors and evangelists. We went to lunch at the hotel with several pastors from the conference. Some of them were Barefoot Doctors and we got to hear some stories of their work in different villages in Burma. After lunch Jon and I went around to different shops looking for interesting jewelry and other handmade goods. We then made our way back to the church where Beverly was in the middle of teaching her afternoon lesson. We then sat in the back and got to relax for awhile. Beverly finished teaching and then Daniel got up to say a few words about the FLC Ministry and the work that they are doing. We don't know what he said because it was all in Burmese. By the way, Daniel knows nine languages, seven of which he can read and write. We were pretty amazed with that fact! After he was done, everyone stood up and joined hands for one last prayer circle before going our separate ways. We had a good time at the conference. After we were done, we went back to the hotel and rested until dinner at 5:30 with the Kalnins, Abraham, and Timothy. They were happy to receive the two suitcases full of medical supplies that were donated. They are taking them across to Burma with them tomorrow. We are saddened by the end of the conference yet excited that we will be crossing into Burma tomorrow to visit Timothy's family. Thank you all.
