We need your fervent prayers on two accounts. First, we have some serious problems getting our young people over from Myanmar (Burma). There always seems to be problems with visas, etc. In order for us to bring our young people (Burma Nationals) to Thailand we must acquire the appropriate visa. For our Burma students to stay and study at Legacy for three years, they must return home each year and then get another ED visa (Educational visa) for another year. This is time consuming and expensive when one adds up travel expenses and more visa costs. But this is the Thai law and if we want them to continue their studies at Legacy, we must comply with the rules and regulations of the Thai Immigration Bureau.
Who knew a little grain of rice took so much time and effort to produce! It is a small grain that is fairly inexpensive and unobtrusive but a staple food in most Asian countries. In late May at Jet Rye (3-1/2 acres), 30 minutes north of the school, we planted rice the Thai style or the wet patty process. As you will see below a full days work of tilling the ground, flooding the patties, pulling rice seedlings, and finally transplanting the rice plants in the two patties takes quite a bit of effort…
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?
Dear Fellow Laborers, As promised, please see below schedule for my speaking in the U.S. We look forward to see so many of you again back home!
