Burma Meets Grits

I was shocked to get a call from a friend from a former life.

We had met in Korea at the IWE church and he has been living in New York since January taking classes. He called me up saying he would be coming to Indiana and wanted to know if we could meet.

He was visiting friends in Fort Wayne, IN and preaching a message at a local congregation of resident Burmese Christians. He said that it was a congregation of over one hundred people from Burma. Apparently there are over 7,000 Burmese living in Indiana. Who knew?

I drove the two hours to Fort Wayne and treated him to a classic American breakfast. He was pretty impressed with it and took photos of his meal. Unfamiliar food is always photo worthy.
