Forced Vacation

Filed under News Updates

The road to LTL. It took us 5 hours to get down and we got stuck twice.

Well, after just two weeks I find myself back in Chiang Mai.  We received word that with the new Thai Government coming to power they were going to make some changes along the border and would be closing the route into LTL for about a month.  Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but because I had to come to Chiang Mai at the end of Oct. to renew my visa I had to make sure I got out before the road closed and locked me in.  So now I’m in a holding pattern for the next two to four weeks while I wait to renew my visa and for the road to LTL to reopen.

I want to make the most of my time in Thailand so I will try to make contact with some other organizations working with the Shan people.  I figure that I can at least continue my language studies while I am here.  Also, if I have time, I want to try to get to Cambodia and visit the home there.  Please pray that I would use my time wisely and continue to be light and salt in this word.  Though I am on “vacation” I feel that I am not relieved of my responsibilities to share Christ with the people of Thailand.

If you see me on FB or on Skype please feel free to contact me so we can catch up.

 

In Christ,

 

David
