Letter from Dr. Sai Htwe Maung, LaShio, to Sai Nyunt Tha, NamKham. 4 January 1979
Dear Saya Sai Nyunt Tha,
May this New Year be a blessed year to you and your family.
May I ask you to help me for one important thing. I am planning to go abroad this coming February.
There will be Church council election in our First Baptist Church. Before the election, as the wishes of
our Shan Christian Fellowship, I want to get all the things done before I go. The electricity will be
installed to Saya Maung Su’s home this month. When you come everything will be ready.
The matters I like to discuss with you are;
1. We have decided to postpone the transfer of Saya Maung Su back to ShweLi until March because we
have not got the replacement.
2. When you have the meeting on 10 February 1979, please plan to send Saya Maung Su to MuongKut
instead of HaiPark.
3. Saya Aung Htun Shwe expressed to us that he is willing to come to LaShio. But there are some
people who will vote for you to come. As for us it is OK either you or Saya Aung Htun Shwe comes.
4. Please send us letter as soon as possible before we select new committee. It will be difficult to put
this matter to First Baptist Church if I am not in the council.
5. Please send me letter immediately after your 10 th February meeting.
With much respect, Dr. Sai Htwe Maung
Letter from Dr. Sai Htwe Maung, LaShio, to Saya Sai Nyunt Tha, NamKham. 21 January 1979
Dear Saya Sai Nyunt Tha,
I write with much respect. Thanks for your letter to U Kyaw Hla. We have to make concrete
decision. If you can come to LaShio please come immediately. If you cannot come please provide us
the following information.
1. I have received letter from ShweLi that the Church has agreed to send Saya Sai Nyunt Tha to LaShio
as Assistant Pastor to LaShio First Baptist Church.
2. We also need letter of agreement from MuSe Shan Baptist Church to send you to LaShio.
3. We have to propose to LaShio First Baptist Church to accept you.
4. As you are the General Secretary of ShweLi Valley Shan Baptist Mission, I am wondering if you can
come.
5. According to your letter to U Kyaw Hla, the transferal of Saya Aung Htun Shwe to LaShio is not a
decision by ShweLi. We need letter of approval from ShweLi.
6. Please send us official letter of confirmation whether ShweLi agree to send you or Saya Aung Htun
Shwe.
I need to finish the task before I leave.
With much respect in Him, Dr. Sai Htwe Maung
