English Translation: September 8, 2003 Dear Gustavus Adolphus College GYO: I'm very glad to write to everyone again. First of all, I would like to thank God for this chance. Thank you for the two letters that you sent to me. Now, me and my family are fine. People in my village are growing rice and my village has a compaign to conserve forests. About the question that you asked, "Why my friends don't believe in God?" It's because they can't make a decision by themselves. So they are not believers yet. Does your country have any terrorism? I often get news about your country from TV. My favorite musical instrument is guitar. What are your favorite musical instruments? I wish you to pray for me about guitar practice because I am learning. About my study, you don't need to worry although sometimes it's difficult. However, please pray for me. How are everyone's study? I have joined with activities such as on last August 10, I went to evangelize at Pha-lai village. There were tourists who were foreigners there and we played football with them. It was very fun. I wish you to pray for my country that we will have more believers. In closing, may God protect you. I'll pray for everyone's study. Love in Christ, Yatapun Kamu |
