We have safely arrived in the USA and are getting adjusted to the time changes. Krinny did well on the trip and is still following what the Dr’s said to do. Since we were delayed in departing Thailand due to Krinny’s bout with kidney stones we are somewhat maxed out preparing for some upcoming meetings as well as simply taking care of things on this end. We are grateful for all who intercede for us through these days.

Work on several fronts continue while we are in the USA. Please continue to pray for the work while we are away. The Hmong brethren who have worked alongside us for the past three years are now working out of an office at the home of the Lange family. They are actually finished with the translation of the Bible institute curriculum but are now editing and reviewing the work. We expect this to take several more months.

We still have a large amount of Burmese scriptures in our warehouses in Thailand awaiting funds to ship. We just received a request for 10,000 Bibles in a language which we do not have. It is humbling to know that so many needs are in the region. Also, several translation projects are underway in Burma. The need is great. We must publish or they will perish! Please pray.

In an earlier update, we mentioned a missionary friend in Thailand, Butch Krenz. Due to some unusual circumstances he is has been mostly without help during a serious illness. His passport is being held in one hospital due to a large bill for treatment and he is in a governmental hospital at this time. He is unable to take care of basic matters by himself. Thankfully a number of missionaries have stepped in and are trying to help him at this time. Some who receive these Updates are sending funds to help him. If you would like to know more, let me know.

Thank you for praying and standing with us. Many of you wrote during these past few weeks while Krinny was ill and we were standing by for the flight back to the USA. It is a great encouragement to know how much you care.

Tom and Krinny Gaudet
