Kengtung, Myanmar to Fang, Thailand

This morning Fr. John Bosco picked us up at 7:30am and we once again went to the Bishop’s House and celebrated a private Mass in his private chapel. (I think I had forgotten to mention earlier that we do NOT have permission – nor would they give it to us – to celebrate Mass publicly. And to do so without permission might cause problems for the Bishop and priests of this Diocese.)


After Mass (Happy Birthday Dad) and breakfast we had an audience with the bishop (His Excellency Peter Louis Caku) and then we were back on the road for the three-hour drive back to the Maynamar-Thai border (a drive which wound up taking over 5 hours because of extremely heavy rainstorms.

But we finally made it, the Myanmar authorities gave us our passports, and we once again crossed back into Thailand. After two more hours by car, we were back at Fang for a good night’s rest.
