the following was written by Angee Langenburg for the Northern Thailand Team;

We are in Chang Mai now and are staying right in the heart of the city.
We got to see the “Barefoot Doctor” program today which was fun and Dr. Jim was able to teach the students about abdominal pain. All of the team members got to act like a patient presenting each different abdominal issue (appendicitis, gallbladder etc…) which gave us a chance to “ham it up a bit. We had fun as the students asked questions to try to determine what was wrong with each of us. Most of the answers Dr. Jim had to whisper into our ear and then we got to pretend like we knew what we were talking about We had a lot of fun with that one.

Yesterday we got to ride elephants and drive oxen carts just like real Thai rice farmers…and you just can’t beat that in my opinion! Several of us on the team had always dreamed of riding elephants and so it was a literal dream come true!

Please pray as we begin our ministry with the church here and the Barefoot doctor program. We pray for wisdom and patience and that God would use the few days we have here for His glory.
Thank you for thinking of us and lifting us up in prayer.
