We are excited to get to come home, yet we are saddened that our amazing trip has come to an end. Today we woke up in Mae Sai and went across the border into Myanmar to visit Pastor Timothy's family. We went over and had breakfast with him and his family at 9:00 and then spent some time visiting with them. After visiting for a while, Timothy took us around to see the town. We got to see some pretty cool things. We saw a Buddhist shrine. It was very..... interesting. Timothy gave us many gifts that we will get to show you all when we return home. We were sad to have to leave because we became so connected with Timothy and his family. We crossed back into Thailand and headed back for Chiang Mai. We arrived in Chiang Mai safely and returned once again to the wonderful Pangviman Place hotel. We rested for an hour or two before heading out to the Night Bazaar for the last time. Since it was our last night, we went and bought a lot of stuff for ourselves and our family members. The day was great. We look forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning before our long trip home. The Kalnins have planned a farewell lunch for us tomorrow at Beulah church with the whole FLC staff. We really look forward to seeing everyone once more before we leave. Thank you all and we'll see you in a few days.
