Lives in Burma

I have been thinking about lives in Burma and now in Laos. I really had fun the last two years living in Burma after my studies in the States. Some experiences, such as unreliable electricity, were frustrating. Overall, I loved being in Burma. If you have been reading my diary, I bitched a lot about Burma. But it's because I want the country to develop and change for better. There are still a lot of good things even now. Don't get me wrong if you are reading my bitching the last two years :-) I still love my country and the people.

Here is a picture of me and my students from the BARS program at the Myanmar Institute of Theology last year. We went to a church in Rangoon, Burma to talk about our mission trip to villages in Karen state. (Photo courtesy of Elizabeth)
