Sawat Dee,
Today was the first day of the leadership conference in Mae Sai. We got up this morning and went down to breakfast in the hotel where we met Abraham, David, and Timothy, who are all local pastors from Burma who came over the border for the conference. After breakfast we walked a block or two down the street to The Mae Sai Chinese Baptist Church where the conference is being held. After I sang “In Christ Alone” Jon taught until 10:30 then we had a 5 min. break and Jon taught again until 12:00 when we had an hour and a half for lunch where we went back to the hotel and ate. We then returned to the conference where Beverly taught for the rest of the day while Jon and I relaxed in the back of the room and I did some of my homework. There was a testimony by one of the pastors at the conference about how his tribe used to worship a false God and how it lead to the death of his son and he asked for prayer for the rest of the tribe to open up their hearts and find Jesus. All of the leaders their laid hands on him and prayed for him and the tribe. The day was over at 4:30 and we headed back to the hotel and rested until dinner at 5:30. The day was cool and not too stressful and we are looking forward to a great day tomorrow. Thanks and see you all soon (4 days).
