This week we got invited to attend Mue Yue Say's birthday party! Her family is Karen, and in order to communicate with the Karenni people they have to speak to each other in Burmese. They are a sweet, darling family, and one we have spent quite a bit of time with this summer. They are believers, and the kids of this family are definitely going to be leaders among their friends for the Lord.
Mue Yue Say and her sister Hay Nay Way posed in their beautiful dresses sent all the way from their grandmother in Myanmar.
The whole family came together for a time of prayer, and reading from the Bible over little Mue Yue Say. This is her dad Ma Nay Soe, her mom Moe Moe Aye, and her two big brothers Yei Min Way, and Yei Min Oo.
The Karenni pastor spoke in Burmese (the mother language for for the Karen and Karenni people groups) over the family.
Little Mue Yue Say loved her birthday cake. She ate all of the icing circles off of it!
Please pray for her and her family that they would continue to grow and walk in the Lord. They are an inspiration, as their family is the only Karen family in the area. The church service they attend is mostly in Karenni, which they do not understand, but they continue to be a huge part in the church, and are teaching their 5 children about the Lord. Pray God would give them strength and endurance.
