Gloria and I are together here in Taungoo, Myanmar (Burma) with 33 Church of God brethren and children to keep Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread. We have been able to come together from different parts of Myanmar. One graduate of Legacy Institute in Chiang Mai came all the way from the China border bringing two friends to see us. She had to cross into China via mountain trails and come around into Kachinland by a circuitous route to avoid the fighting between the Burma army and the Kachin Independence Army.
