KK1-0984 - Sasana n hkap la ai mare a lam (The village that did not welcome missionaries) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) I will tell you about a real incident that happened many years ago in a village. There were missionaries from abroad coming to that village. However, the villagers bullied the two missionaries. When they were riding the horses, the villagers pulled them away. The villagers even washed the missionaries' hair by using fermented liquor. Since the two missionaries were serving God, they hadn't even tried a sip of alcohol before. The villagers did worse to them. So they couldn't receive any blessings. We can see that the village has had no development at all until today. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi shawng de e mare langai mi kaw e byin wa ai mabyin hpe e tsun dan mayu ai.
