Dear Friends and Fellow, Laborers, Gloria and I are back from our annual Spring Holy Day trip to Myanmar (formerly called Burma). This trip we had Lacee Hilgen come along with us. Lacee is a volunteer teacher at Legacy Foundation Leadership Training Center in Chiang Mai, and she was just finishing up her service. She decided that, instead of going straight home to California, she would go with us to visit the brethren in Myanmar. At present, almost all of our students are from Myanmar; sothis gave her the additional pleasure of meeting family members of some of her students...

I am at the end of my Thailand adventure. It has totally been an adventure but I can truly call Thailand my home. I adore it. I not only adore the beauty and the culture. But I adore the home that I found at Legacy with the Thai and Burmese students, along with Leon, Gloria and the Legacy staff. I am thankful that I have been able to teach a few important lessons to my students, but I am even more thankful for the daily lessons they have taught me. I can write a novel on the lessons, experiences, struggles and memories I now have and I do not want to dumb down the fact that Legacy has been the best experience of my life. I never want to take away from my time spent there but I do want to mention how extraordinary my time in Myanmar/Burma has been, even though it has been 2 short weeks.
Dear Brethren and Friends, Please pray for my aunt, Gerda Bludau (Gaggi), my 98-year old Aunt. She took a bad fall right in front of our gate one week ago Friday the 27th, at 6:pm. At the hospital, she needed 2 stitches on her head and has scrapes and bruises. CT Scan and X-Rays miraculously showed no breaks or internal bleeding. Leon anointed her immediately after the fall. She does not remember falling down, even now a week later. She is in pain and is still pretty sore all over.
Hello Fellow Laborers, I am at home and resting after a day in the hospital. The surgeon performed an angiogram and took pictures of my arteries and heart. The only problem he found was called “Trivial Coronary Arterial Disease”, with no intraluminal narrowing, which means there was very minimal plaque buildup in two areas, and no need to continue with an angioplasty.
Dear Friends and Fellow laborers, Graduation at Legacy is always a hectic—but fun—time. Our volunteer teachers and students must finish up their classes, take finals, and practice speeches, and chorale for the graduation ceremony. This year we had FIVE graduates: Hser Nay Htoo, Hser Nay Paw, Hser Nay Say, Moe Palel, and Nay Blu Htoo. In attendance were students’ family and friends, and other guests.
Dear Friends and Fellow laborers, I go into the hospital tomorrow, March 3rd, to finally have the angiogram and possible angioplasty performed. Please pray that all goes smoothly and successfully. […]
I guess I was in Texas too long. It just didn’t feel right over here in Thailand at Legacy without some cows. So, guess what? We got us some cows! The plan is to raise cows for food and manure. We started with two cows and 2 calves. These are called “Wua Lampoon” or Lampoon Cows. Lampoon is a province just south of Chiang Mai. These cows are native to Southeast Asia and are red in color. Nice looking cows, don’t you think?
Greetings Friends and Fellow Laborers, Instead of our regular Legacy Letter, I am sending you our finished publication of the Legacy Leader for this year. Each year the Journalism classes put out our school publication called the Legacy Leader which has been written and laid out by Legacy teachers and students in Thailand. I think you will find what they have to say interesting and informative about the impact of the Legacy program on our students and volunteer teachers. Enjoy!
We ran into some paperwork problems and had to postpone the procedure for a few days. Bureaucracy is the same everywhere. Waiting is never fun, but I trust the Sovereign […]
