Barefoot Doctors Head Home to Burma

Monday morning we packed up the trucks with the Barefoot Doctors suitcases and medical supplies and headed north to Mae Sai, Thailand and Tachileik, Burma.  They were excited to be finally going home.

A few of the new graduates had trouble with car-sickness on the way, but finally the road smoothed out and they got some sleep.  As soon as we got to Mae Sai we unloaded everything into smaller trucks and checked everyone and their belongings through the border into Myanmar.  Everything got through safely and without incident, thank the Lord.

Soon we found ourselves at Timothy's house in Tachileik where the IMR team and the students are conducting a medical camp this week.

Monday evening we gathered at Thin Bey's house to have a prayer and memorial service for Dee Saripung who had passed away over the weekend.  Please keep Chang Bu, his wife, and their one-year old daughter, Nin, in your prayers.
