Let me begin to fill you in.

I want to fill you in more on the work that we're doing here, since I wasn't able to explain it very well before I left. Pastor Phamor, a retired pastor who is basically in charge of the work I'm here to help with, is currently the head of close to 200 teachers in a small chain of little Adventist schools built entirely out of Bamboo. They are located mostly throughout Burma, a couple being here in Thailand, and they are properly named the Bamboo Schools. Look them up on Google for further information! Anyhow, about fifteen years ago, Pastor Phamor's son came down with a disease that he suffered through for nine years; it left him blind and with lots of pain in his body. So the Pastor began to change his son Paul's diet, along with his own and his wife's. They quit eating all types of meat and animal products and began diving into the healing power of natural remedies. In giving praise to God for His goodness and His will for us to be pain-free, Paul's body pains subsided and haven't returned since the switch. That is part of the “health message” that I was referring to as part of the work that I would be doing here, which we began learning about Wednesday, September 17^th. Hydrotherapy, the healing of diseases and sickness through water, has been a major part of our learning. Oh the things I will try on you all when I get back! And the natural remedies have been so interesting. Seriously, everything is so practical it's not even funny. We've also been learning about the 8 Laws of Health - yeah, practical, but very unpracticed! For instance, water will lower blood pressure because... ready for this.... 93% of it is water! I know, incredible. More info? Let me know! Anyway, at the end of our training begins our series of village hopping, which is this coming Sunday. After that, expect no contact from me for a couple weeks, for internet and phone services will be quite unavailable I'm told. Thanks again for your company... :)
