Legacy Letter April 2013

22 July 2017 – Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, FOURTH OF JULY IN THAILAND – Thailand does not have an independence day, since the kingdom of Thailand never broke away from anyone. But my family and I are Americans living in Thailand, so we decided to have a small celebration of July Fourth. I broke out my father’s memorial flag that was given to my mother at my father’s funeral, which included a 21-gun salute by the local VFW. We also had fire crackers the grandkids set off and enjoyed special snacks…

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…

10 June 2017 – Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, What a wonderful Pentecost we had in Taungoo, Myanmar! It was a very special holy day. What made it so special? Besides being a wonderful God-ordained high Sabbath day, it really felt as if the Holy Spirit was being poured out upon the 49 people gathered there. No, there were no little flames of fire appearing on our heads. And, no, we did not erupt into different languages other than the English sermon being translated into the Burmese language. But nevertheless, it was a very spiritual experience.

JUNE-JULY 2019 – Dear Brethren and Fellow Laborers, As brethren, we talk much to each other and know perfectly well that many of us have had, are going through, or will go through trials. No trials are exactly the same from person to person, but we do grow in empathy for each part of the Body of Christ that is suffering.
