Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, The Feast of Tabernacles is over for this year. What an exciting month it has been! First, Gloria and I went to Burma for the Feast of Trumpets. We had 32 brethren (including children) from South and Central Burma gather for the Feast of Trumpets in the central plains city of Taungoo. If you read my last letter, you know that we have had some serious problems...

I was planning to talk about this recent news and how I see prophecy being fulfilled in the Middle East today by writing to you in my monthly Legacy Letter. But I decided that I need to send you a blog posting because things are happening so fast it is difficult to keep up. God gave the Prophet Daniel special insight into (from Daniel’s perspective) the far distant future. That prophesied future is upon us today.
Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, For over 12 years, Legacy Institute has sponsored a Feast of Tabernacles site in Chiang Mai, Thailand, the heart of Southeast Asia. Festival goers from all parts of the world gather to worship, feast, and fellowship in one of the most exotic countries on earth. Thailand (once known as Siam) is a modern country with ultra-modern convention facilities, yet still retains its own unique ancient culture.
Buying Lovers - John Kerry, the new U.S. Secretary of State (Foreign Minister), is moving quickly to help the enemies of Israel and the US. He has just given Egypt a gift of 250 Million Dollars. This comes on the heels of the US sending Egypt F-16 fighter jets and Abrams tanks.
This was an eventful week at Legacy. We have a Burmese family attending classes here (4 girls and 2 boys). I have one of the boys in my second year English class, but all of his siblings are first year students.
Remember the didactic anecdote about the frog in hot water? The idea is that, if you place a frog in boiling water, it will immediately jump out. But if you put the frog in cold water and slowly raise the temperature, the cold blooded frog will gradually adjust to the temperature until it eventually boils to death.
December 6, 2012 was the King's birthday here in Thailand, providing Legacy's students and staff with a much needed holiday. So, we decided to pack all 22 students and staff into the sung tao and one motorbike and head to a nearby lake for picnic and games.
Several months ago at Jet Rye, our loaned property were we grow corn, peanuts, and soybeans, we picked mangoes.
For eight months now the ah-janns (teachers) and students have been working hard at revamping the "Teacher's Garden". The beautifully transformed garden located at the back of Legacy school grounds has been a joy to all of us here that walk it everyday. The pictures below are taken in succession as we worked. Below is a pastel drawing I drew of what we thought the garden should look like when it was completed.

Prophecy marches on. The USA has a dead Ambassador and the brave men who died protecting him. Egypt is threatening Israel – again! Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad once again threatens war in the Middle East from the UN podium, and armies are massing on Syria’s border. Where will this all lead?
On August 13th, Legacy Institute celebrated the Queen of Thailand's Birthday. In recognition of this national holiday, classes were cancelled. A former teacher graciously funded a field trip for the students and so, we packed all of the students into our blue Sung Tao (pickup truck) and headed off to the Mae Sa Waterfall.
