Sunday..the last of Mae Sot

New years eve celebrations
Dad preaching

--------//--------

Ok so the day off didn't really end up being a day off. We were kind of tired after going to be at 1am but New Years day was slightly slower which was nice. While dad had an in depth discussion with some American missionaries, Leonie, Chuilian, Mimee, Chris and the Filipino missionaries went to a waterfall. It was good but after a long night we were all pretty tired.

Yesterday after a bit more sleep, we visited some Burmese kids which Leonie had seen at the church/Elpis prior to our arrival and gave them some Chrismas presents. They were a needy family so it was great to be able to bless them. This was Chuilian's idea.

Today we had church at Mimee's church and dad preached going through 2 translators. Tonight we're meeting up with Melissa Crouch and then leaving Mae Sot on the 8am bus tomorrow to hopefully get some R&R in Chiang Mai for the rest of the day.

God has been great this whole week, and its still been amazing how we've been able to catch up with everyone just at the right time. Its great that the last day or 2 has been a bit slower as that has allowed Leonie (who was doing crazy hours with the locals before we got here) to catch up a little on sleep. Prayer points: that over the next few days we can be perceptive to the needs of those we meet and on the team. That we can get the necessary rest, and also that we can stay in step with the Spirit as we serve the people over here. Thanks heaps again!
