We split into 3 groups. The builders dug holes for the big posts that hold up the building, then they took a break, then water, then dig, break, water, dig, break, water. They got several 3 foot by 3 foot by 4 foot holes dug. Jan and Michael dug like moles.
A youth team (Ryan, KC, Abby, Beka, and Rosie) and Bruce went to a mostly Christian Lahu hill tribe and did several songs and skits. Rosie preached a description of each skit. Thum translated to Thai and Tom to Lahu. We had people come up for prayer for: knees, hearing, stomach problems. One older man let us know he couldn’t hear in one ear—it was obvious he couldn’t when we spoke to him. When we finished he had a big smile. As he was walking away he let our Thai translators know he could hear. It seemed obvious because he was able to understand them.
Angie and Laurie stayed in Fang and taught at Timothy’s leadership training at his church. Laurie taught the mountain model while Angie taught on cells. It was well received with the students taking lots of notes. David, the Singapore pastor, and Timothy were very interested in both topics. Two people received the baptism in Holy Spirit.
We had a late lunch and traveled to the Queen’s school where we all meet up with the entire Singapore team. They did a terrific large group ice breaker, but, even though we counted off ‘fair’ groups, we had some pesky HIGHLY competitive Americans who kind of threw off the game. For the last couple rounds the Americans were thrown out of the game. One of the Singapore team preached an encouraging message. We donated 5,000 Baht to the Christians in the school to pay for transportation to summer church camp in Chiang Mai for 52 students, that also was to help pay for a guitar.
In the evening we went to an Akha hilltribe and Michael preached a great sermon. Between Michael and the rest of the team I think Dan could take months off now. We prayed for healing for several people and for the pastor and his wife.

Hello from Pullman,
I have been keeping up on the events of your trip. Wonderful!
In praying for you, I see such Light. Light in a darkened tunnel, light like fireflies in the night spreading light to all the places you go, light you impart as you share with others. I see you leaving light with others to multiply. You are beacons of light as a lighthouse. You will come home brighter lights than when you left.
Blessings and safety.

The above was sent by me.
Bruce, we got the electrical all worked out today - we should get all we will need. There were still some questions concerning house speaker placement, but they will still route cabling topside.
Praying for more blessings!
Mike
