Letter from Dr. Sai Htwe Maung, LaShio, to Saya Sai Nyunt Tha, NamKham. 6 February 1979
Dear Rev. Sai Nyunt Tha,
With much respect I write this letter to you. I have received your letter per kind favor of Sai
Henry. I want to tell you about Saya Aung Htun Shwe and Saya Maung Su. On 2 February, Saya
Maung Su, Saya Aung Htun Shwe, U Kyaw Hla and I met together and discussed about transferal of
Saya Maung Su. He is willing and eager to go to MuongKut. Even though they may have difficulty in
housing they are willing to sacrifice. I do not think it is good to transfer Saya Maung Su to HaiPark
because (1) Saya Maung Su is more interested in going to MuongKut. (2) He has experienced in
working in remote area and serving in the village for a long time. (3) His children are grown up and
need higher education. It is necessary for them to live in town and get education. It is good to live in
MuongKut. (4) Since he is not interested in going to HaiPark I don’t think it will be fruitful if we send
him to HaiPark.
That is why when you have meeting on 10 February please consider sending Saya Maung Su to
MuongKut instead of HaiPark.
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.
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.
Please send me letter immediately after your 10th February meeting.
With much respect, Dr. Sai Htwe Maung
Letter from Saya Aung Htun Shwe to Saya Nyunt Tha. 10 July 1979
Subject: Resignation from Shan Bible Centenary Committee
Dear Saya Sai Nyunt Tha,
Regarding about caption, I am very much regret to have received your letter of resignation from the
position of secretary of Shan Bible Centenary Committee. I would like to encourage you to continue
working harder as secretary. If you leave the committee it is not easy for us to find a replacement. It
shows us that our small groups of Shan Christians need unity among us. Please withdraw your
resignation and continue the work.
“Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”
In His service, Signed/ Aung Htun Shwe
Chairman, Shan Bible Centenary Committee
Note. Sai Nyunt Tha replied that he would think about it and later he withdrew his resignation.
